# product.rb class Produtct < AR::Base end require_dependency 'book' require_dependency 'movie'
# movie.rb class Movie < Product end # book.rb class Book < Product end This works fine for me in development and production. 1. Development: a) Request comes b) you call Product.dependencies() c) reading product.rb calls require_dependecy and reads movie.rb and book.rb d) Product.dependencies returns => [Movie, Book] e) request is finished. Product, Movie, Book constanst are forgotten. 2. Development: a) Request comes b) you call Movie.something() c) Movie inherits from Product d) autoloading reads product.rb e) reading product.rb calls require_dependecy and reads movie.rb and book.rb f) Movie.something() returns something g) request finished. Product, Movie, Book constanst are forgotten. 3. Production a) Loading rails application leads to require all files in app/**/*.rb for faster forking application. b) movie.rb or product.rb is read first. c) require_dependency behaves like require. d) Everything works still fine.
