Subject: Re: How to know in which class we are when inheriting

Hi,

the "self" keyword is always resolved in the current context. So when 
you call an inherited method or super(), "self" always points to the 
current instance and not the originating class or something. This 
wouldn't even make sense in your case, because there is no instance of 
One that "self" could refer to.

If you want to know the class where a certain method is defined, use 
Method#owner:

#-----------------
class A
  def f
    puts method(:f).owner
  end
end

class B < A; end

b = B.new
b.f
#-----------------

However, I have a bad feeling about what you're going to do with this. 
What are you trying to do?
