Just a guess, since I haven't ever had this situation but, rake files are ruby files, you should be able to include them from any other ruby file and execute the methods it has defined inside. As I said, I haven't tried this, is just a guess. Otherwise, you can always use a system call to execute system commands (such as rake) Hope it helps. -- Leonardo Mateo.
