Ah, now I see.  I believe your problem comes from the fact that you
are mixing two styles: DSL and "regular" Ruby.  If you integrate
defining those modules into your DSL (i.e. not via "module ... end")
then integrating lookups might be easier as well.  I don't have a
clear idea yet how to do that but maybe it's worth exploring.

Kind regards
