The below code is proved that. ********************************************************* module Show def show_string p "hi" end end # => nil class Foo @x=12 (include Show).object_id end # => 10681980 class Too @x=12 (include Show).object_id.inspect end # => "10648020" ********************************************************* As here I didn't create any object of `Too` and `Foo`,then how does such object number come ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
