Hello all,

If I have a class such as:

class Example

  def one
    puts "one"

    def two
      puts "two inside one"
    end
  end

  def two
    puts "two inside Example"
  end

end

And I do:
e = Example.new
e.one
e.two

I get, obviously:
one
two inside one

What I don't understand is that if after that I do:
f = Example.new
f.two

I still get:
two inside one

Since the two method in question is defined within one, doesn't it
behave like a method on the object e? How can it override the two
method outside for the f object?

Thanks for your help in explaining this.
