 You don't reference it : one use is when you don't want the the loaded
 file 'pollute' your classes. A small example to see the difference

pigeon% cat c.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class A
   def a
      p "c.rb : b"
   end
end

A.new.a

pigeon% 

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class A
   def a
      p "b.rb : a"
   end
end

load 'c.rb', true
A.new.a
load 'c.rb'
A.new.a

pigeon%
 
pigeon% b.rb
"c.rb : b"
"b.rb : a"
"c.rb : b"
"c.rb : b"
pigeon%
