In the newest (pre-release) version of Camping you solve this by using
a config.ru-file:
# in config.ru
require 'app'
require 'blog'
require 'forum'
map '/' do
run App
end
map '/blog' do
run Blog
end
map '/forum' do
run Forum
end
You can then run `camping config.ru` to start the server.

The simplest solution is to define something like this:
def App.setup(app)
app.class_eval do
set :foo, 123
include Bar
use Baz
end
end
And then:
module App
App.setup(self)
end
module Blog
App.setup(self)
end
module Forum
App.setup(self)
end

Linking is indeed a hard problem. By default, Camping+Mab prepends the
mount path to all links. So if you generate "/user/1" inside a
Forum-template, the link will actually come out as "/forum/user/1". Of
course, this means that linking to "/blog/post/1" does actually link
to "/forum/blog/post/1" which probably wasn't what you intended.
I'm really not sure what's the best solution is here…
