Subject: Dynamically require and include code in application

I was hoping to dynamically load and include code in my application.
After some struggle, i've got this working. Wish to know if this is the
cleanest way to do so:

Since include has a problem (NoMethod) i tried making the method Class
level,
 it works but include does not take a String, so eval it
 Can this not be at instance level ??

    def self.load_module requirename, includename
      require "xxx/#{requirename}"
      eval ( "include #{includename}")
    end

I wish to call an initializer method in such a module which
 will bind keys (for example)
 needs to be done at object level


    def init_module requirename, includename
      send("#{requirename}_init") #if respond_to? "#{includename}_init"
    end

I was hoping that the require and include could be at the instance
level, so other objects are not affected. Different objects (instances)
may include different modules.

I tried by NOT putting an include, just trying to call the methods using
send. I also appended the module name in the send, but got a no method
error.

The only other option i thought of was to extend my class and add this
functionlity but that obviously means too many extensions, I'd like
multiple modules to be loadable this way.
Thanks.
