We have a custom implementation of the Mother Object idea. It's inside  
of a module, basically like this:

module Factory
        %w(account friendship person invitation message asset email_address  
birth).each do |klass|
                eval <<-EOF
                def self.create_#{klass}(attributes = {})
                        default_attributes = valid_#{klass}_attributes
                        #{klass.camelize}.create! 
default_attributes.merge(attributes)
                end
                EOF
        end

        def valid_message_attributes(options = {})
                {
                #some message options
                }
        end

        #more valid_x_attributes methods
end

When I require this file in a spec file, Factory.create_person works  
fine. When I try to do it in a step file, Factory.create_person is  
defined, but it fails because valid_person_attributes is missing. If  
I'm in a debugger, and I do require 'model_factory' followed by  
Factory.create_person, same deal.

Do we have a blank slate being loaded somewhere, and why is it wiping  
out require files?
