Subject: Modules, Overloading, and some Confusion

Hello Rubyists,
Here's something I've been pondering lately and was hoping to get a good
response from someone out in the community. It's about having two
modules which both implement a method with the same name, and then
including both modules into a class.

Example:

module Honda
  def start
    puts "Wroom"
  end
end


module Ford
  def start
    puts "Rrrooom"
  end
end

class Car
  include Honda
  include Ford
end

car = Car.new
car.start
=> Rrrroooom


Okay, so that's a pretty contrived example, but here's my question: how
can I can call the start method defined in Honda rather than the start
method defined in Ford? I feel like there's something I'm missing here,
but I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks all,
kodama
