Hi Marc,

here is a set of files that achieve the separation you asked for :

  http://gist.github.com/92127

run it with "ruby main.rb". Note that it's simply using Ruby require.
The engine is placed inside the "Engine" constant for easy access.


Here is another variation :

  http://gist.github.com/92130

Where the definition is not "required" but simply loaded. Note that if
you had it available on a web server you could write things like :

  Engine.launch('http://processes.ina.fr/categorizing_process.rb')

(the funny thing with that is when you generate a process definition
on the fly, but that's another story). Such remote definitions are OK
only when the engine has the option :remote_definitions_allowed set to
true.


Best regards,
