Like the OP, I like to require files that are needed to execute the
current file, in order to not become dependent on the exact require
sequence. So another solution to the problem of his would be to place
the require calls at the appropriate places, for example in root.rb:

  class Root

    require 'customer'
    def self.create_data()
      Customer.new("Dolly")
      Customer.new("Reymond")
    end

  end

But instead of reading and trying to understand what others have
posted he keeps complaining about require being broken. I don't see
anything in the documentation of require that doesn't behave as
advertised.
