Subject: including instance methods and setting an instance variable

Hi all,

I'm trying to include a module and in that module I want to set an
instance variable. I have the following:

class Queue
  include LBo::InstanceMethods
end

module LBo
  module InstanceMethods
    attr_accessor :position
    self.position = 1
  end
end

q = Queue.new
q.position

But I'm getting this error:
undefined method `position=' for LBo::InstanceMethods:Module
(NoMethodError)

I'm feeling like a moron because I can't understand why this is not
working.
I tried setting the @position variable directly, but when I do
q.position it gives back nil.

Could somebody lend me a hand with this one?

Thanks in advance!
