Is it possible to have multiple definitions of an enum, and decide at the

Using enums properly, no. Enums are compile time type information.
You can approximate this though using casts and stuff like that.
Let me paint the actual situation. Each coherence protocol in Ruby
generates a MachineType enum, and this varies depending on the protocol.
This enum and some of the functions defined on the enum are used in
different parts of Ruby. Currently, I see this enum to be the only
blocking factor in compiling different protocols together. I have not been
able to find a good way to make this enum private to the protocols. Any
suggestions?
Thanks
