If I don't include them, then the helpers in LocationsHelper can't find/use
the helpers in ApplicationHelper. Maybe this will help illustrate:
test code:
describe LocationsHelper do
describe "location tree" do
it "should not show siblings for state, country, or root level
locations" do
helper.location_tree(@oregon).should_not include_text(@hawaii.name)
end
end
end
The location_tree method is defined in the module/helper LocationsHelper.
But, it calls ApplicationHelper.markaby. When I run the above test, it
can't find the markaby method/helper. It will only find markaby if I remove
the leading "helper." from in front of the call, and also include
ApplicationHelper (including this, when using helper. doesn't remedy it).
