Subject: Namespaces a la C#

Hei everybody,

     I'm kind of new to ruby and, since i come from C#, one of the main
things i'm missing is the .NET "project" way of organizing the codebase.
As you probably know: in .NET you can arrange your code into a project,
then reference that project to have access to everything public inside
it. Example:

<in DotNetProject>
<file Temp.cs>

namespace Temp
{
      public class TestClass { }
}

<file TempTwo.cs>
namespace Temp
{
      public class TestTwoClass { }
}

then, in another project, you get access to TestClass and TestTwoClass
referencing the DotNetProject and you can simplify the syntax too by
adding 'using' directives on your files like:

using Temp;

public class NewClass
{
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        TestClass ts = new TestClass();
        TestTwoClass ts2 = new TestTwoClass();
        //the following is still legal and
        //it's the syntax you'll have to use
        //if you choose not to add the 'using' line
        //at the top
        Temp.TestClass ts3 = new Temp.TestClass();
        Temp.TestTwoClass ts4 = new Temp.TestTwoClass();
    }
}

So: is there a way to do something similar in Ruby? Like using a Module,
but splitted on separate files, such as :

<in file1.rb>
Module test
    Class testclass
    end
end

<in file2.rb>
Module test
    Class testtwoclass
    end
end

and then

<in file bootstrapper.rb>
require 'test'
...
ts = test::testclass.new
ts2 = test::testtwoclass.new
...

Sorry if this is a lame question but the
add-every-freaking-file-every-freaking-time way isn't just going to work
on a large project and i don't really like having to code every class
belonging to a namespace in the same file like this :

Module test
    Class one
    end

    Class two
    end
    ...
    Class n
    end
end

Thanks in advance!
