What is a superclass mismatch?

So I've created my first module by moving all of the administrative functions of my CMS under an 'admin' directory. Having done so, when I try and access my pages_controller.rb file in admin, I get

superclass mismatch for class PagesController

Any thoughts as to what I've done wrong?

Thanks!

That happens when you first do

class X < Y end

then

class X < Z end

So for example if you've a top level pages controller and one in
admin, then the one in admin should be Admin::PagesController
