Blocker bug in Rails

Hi all

For some time we've tried to upgrade our FIRMS application from Rails 1.1.6 to Rails 1.2.x. Our recent experience has been a lot of NameError's as described in

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6720 http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6951

The latter one is a blocker and high prio, although I was surprised to find no mentioning of it in today's Rails 1.2.3 release. Does anyone know of any development around here? Any other people having trouble to get around it? The cause of the bug is mysterious to me. It has been mentioned that it was caused by include statements outside of a class, but this did not resolve our problems.

We are running on Ruby 1.8.5 and Linux.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks David
