I attached the file that contains the module as well as the file where the module is mixed in. Here is a short schematic version of what i want to do. module m @array = [] def add x array.push x end end class inner include m end class outer inner.new.add x end Here is the original error output. ./updatepaintmodule.rb:21:in `addElement': undefined method `push' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from ./layeredbg.rb:7:in `initialize' from ./game.rb:35:in `new' from ./game.rb:35:in `initialize' from ./main.rb:5:in `new' from ./main.rb:5 I think i saw an example where instance variables were mixed in. So, why would they be nil? Attachments: http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/7897/updatepaintmodule.rb http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/7898/layeredbg.rb -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
