No. The fact that you can't use methods before their definition isn't because 
of a shortcoming of the interpreter and thus can't be "fixed" by forward
declaration like in C. You can't use a method before its definition in ruby 
because in ruby method definitions happen at run-time not at parse-time. This 
needs to be so in order to allow method redefinition.

HTH,
