That's about right. Because there is an application.rb in an
appropriate place in the search path Rails may find that file and try
to load it first. While you might be able to fiddle with those so that
rails found your model class first that would then probably screw
things up when Rails is actually looking for ApplicationController.
You might be able to get round this by just explicitly loading your
model rather than relying on the magical loading
Wait for Rails 2.3 where ApplicationController will live in
application_controller.rb :-)
