Subject: initialize() in a module, is it correct?

Hi, for some exotic reason I need to define initialize() method in a
module, so a class including such module can invoke super() in its
initialize() method. It seems to work:

--------------------------------------------
module M
  def initialize
    puts "I'm module M"
  end
end

class A
  include M

  def initialize
    puts "I'm class A instance"
    super
  end
end

A.new
=> I'm class A instance
=> I'm module M
--------------------------------------------

However I would like to know if there could be an issue by using it. I
do know that constants defined in a module are not accessible from a
class including such module but this is not a problem.

PS: I don't want to inherit A from other class due to the nature of my code.


Thanks a lot.
