Well, it is not so simple. Currently we check whether the file is already in $". But it doesn't get into the list until it's execution is successfully finished:
x.rb: p $" require 'y.rb' p $" y.rb: p $" The output is: [] [] ["y.rb"] So we probably need another list/table of already loaded files. Besides, a single file could be required multiple times - if you do $".clear before calling require. I need to figure out what is exactly the condition under which Ruby doesn't load a file. Could you please file a bug?

This used to work correctly in the previous version - it simply requires marking the file as already loaded prior to executing it. Cheers, Wayne.
