Subject: [ruby-talk:30209] Shortcut to accessing class constants?

Hi,

This may be an indication of bad design but in a current project I have a class (C) with a number of constants (B1, B2, ...) that I wan't to access from another class (A).

Is there some way to include or extend A with C so that I can write B1 etc directly in A without having to prefix them with C::B1.

(The names are much longer in reality and there are lots of them so I think a shortcut would really help readability...)

I thought

class A
  include C
end

would do it since classes are also modules but it doesn't work. Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Herman Graal
