Hi Pit,
       it's OK, but I still don't understand what is the situation when 
overriding a module.

I have added the class method to check what happens:
Cucc::Cucc.x(30) # => 30 Cucc module Cucc class Cucc.x
puts Cucc::Cucc  # => Class

But after the redefinition of the same module (without having the Cucc 
innerclass) the same lines lead to different outcome:
Cucc::Cucc.x(30) # => 30 Redefined Cucc module Cucc.x
puts Cucc::Cucc  # => Class

Can you please explain me this?

Thanks in advance --stan--
