The app I'm working on is an online editor where a user create classes 
that connect to back-ends and fetch data. The users can create classes 
and have them all in their personal folder (security issues with this 
type of apps are high, I'm working on that too). So basically when the 
user wants to initialize an object of a class that depends on another 
one I don't want uninitialized constant errors. I could make require as 
it is the way is intended to do as you say. But I have seen that when I 
put all those classes in the rails lib folder, for example, they're all 
loaded without problem when I initialize the server and I can make an 
instance object of any class without any error. I want something like 
that.

Thanks,

Elias
