I ve tried it the following way: I ve defined a little module: module MyApp module MyMixin def self.included(base) @should_be_an_instance_variable = nil end end end which is included by my little class: class MyClass include MyApp::MyMixin end However, it seems that @should_be_an_instance_variable is currently defined per mixin, but I would like to have a unique one for each object of MyClass. Maybe anybody can help me? Thanks a lot in advance. -- Volker
