I don't think so. As far as I understand Ruby,
XYZ is not "part" of Monday. It's still a separate module,
it's just that the Constant XYZ in Monday's namespace points
to it.

No. You just need to get the module object from anywhere
and extend.

Maybe I already found the solution: the method "nesting". Unfortunately,
it doesn't work properly for autoloaded modules. I guess it is a bug.

That's exactly the problem. It works for normal modules (where I don't 
have a problem), but not with autoloaded nested functions. The name just
doesn't show the parents, similar to the nesting function.
