Subject: Re: Organizing code to avoid name space collision

Thanks Robert,


I don't know if this is a design issue on my part - or how to resolve 
it. The individuel test_backtrack.rb and test_dynamic.rb runs just fine. 
Any script I have that utilizes one of these modules also have no issues 
- because both modules are never included at the same time. It's only 
the test suite that includes both when running rake test - and problems 
occur.

I spend some time studying the Modeles and Namespaces section in the 
Ruby Cookbook. Here the suggestion is that one should chose different 
method names to avoid conflicts. I think that is a crude solution. I 
also explored your extend solution, but while that should work (I didn't 
test) it means that every time I instantiate a Seq object I need to 
extend it. I could accept that for the testing files, but I think it 
would obfuscate the regular code that uses Seq objects. I don't 
understand your 3. suggestion. I am very open to suggestions to improve 
the organization of my code - and to any coding practices that eliminate 
such design issues.



Cheers,


Martin
