Thanks! Your example is working well until i use it inside a class 
definition.

But when i'm trying to use it from the irb prompt, but the overloaded 
include it's not called...
Is there a way to found from where the method is define? ( with 
method(:include).something?), so i know where to define the overload...

For example, if i put the class overloading in a separate file 
class_includer.rb
class Class
  def include(*args)
     p "hi!"
     super
   end
end

And from the irb :
require "class_includer"
include "test"

The method above is not called. It means that it's implemented elsewhere 
in this case (outside a class definition, in the top level).

I tried to overload directly the include method in the irb, but it's not 
working as well, very strange... well, i have probably to understand 
more how scope on self is working!

So from the top level, where i can overload this "include" method?
