Subject: module and alias_method

Hi,

is it possible, in a module, to create an alias for a method of the object including it?

module CKHTMLTableUser    
    alias_method :normal_init, :init 
    def init
        if request["action"]
            send("#{request['action']}_action")
        end
        normal_init
    end
end


Doing this I get:

undefined method `init' for module `CKHTMLTableUser'

Also, the method to be triggered by "send" is also only defined in the object including the module.
Will that work once I get around the first problem?

Thanks.

Raph
