Subject: executing block at toplevel from within a class

how do i execute a block for the toplevel from within a class method?

take a look:

	class AnyOther
		...
	end

	class AnyOld
		def initialize
			@goingup = AnyOther.new
			eval "goneup = @goingup", TOPLEVEL_BINDING
		end
	end

this isn't going to work b/c @goingup will be looked for in the toplevel too. 
right? moreover i tried this and it executes without and error, but goneup 
isn't to be found.

a = AnyOld.new
puts goneup

reports goneup dosen't exist. where did it go? mind you i'm running this from 
with in an rhtml eruby script.
