I haven't looked into it in any depth, but I wonder if your problem could be that your test classes have exactly the same name. So when the second file is loaded, you will be modifying the first test class.

I suspect you \*can\* have two test cases testing the same controller as long as the class names of the two \*TestCases\* are different.

class SummaryControllerOneTest \< Test::Unit::TestCase class SummaryControllerAnotherTest \< Test::Unit::TestCase
