Undefined method in my plugin...

I've got a plugin that is really a collection of plugins, and I want one plugin to see methods from another. I've tried to simplify what I've done and what I'm seeing

So my (simplified) file structure looks like this: acts_as_foobar/   - init.rb   - lib/     acts_as_foobar.rb     foo.rb     bar.rb

init.rb:     require 'acts_as_foobar.rb'

acts_as_foobar.rb:     require 'foo'     require 'bar'

foo.rb:     module Foo       def self.included(base)         base.extend(ClassMethods)       end

      module ClassMethods         def acts_as_foo           class_eval do             extend Foo::SingletonMethods           end         end       end

      module SingletonMethods         def static_foo_method           ...do something foo-ish here...         end       end     end

    ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, Foo)

bar.rb:     module Bar       def self.included(base)         base.extend(ClassMethods)       end

      module ClassMethods         def acts_as_bar           include Bar::InstanceMethods         end       end

      module InstanceMethods         def instance_bar_method           X.static_foo_method         end       end     end

    ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, Bar)

Now, I have two model classes, X and Y X.rb     class X < ActiveRecord::Base       acts_as_foo     end

Y.rb     class Y < ActiveRecord::Base       acts_as_bar     end

Now if I try this:     Y.find(1).instance_bar_method

I'll get an error like this:     'undefined method `static_foo_method' for Foo:Module (NoMethodError)

But I can call     X.static_foo_method and get the results I expect.

(I know this use of a plugin may not be optimal)

Any clues as to how I can get this work?
