Exactly, and this was my original problem as well.I think I'll go with 
Eric Hodels solution for now. Also, I will put the code behind the 
binary in myapp/lib/myapp/command.rb

I have organized my files such that mostly there's one class per file. 
This means modules are spread over several files. Is it a good idea to 
create a file named after each module which requires all the files 
belonging to the module?

Then I could require all the modules in myapp/lib/myapp.rb so that 
require 'myapp' from another app will give direct access to all my 
classes and modules. Is it good? :)
