If you have a construct like this (all in the same file):

  # app/models/user.rb
  class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    # ...
  end

  class UnassignedUser < User
    def self.shout
      puts "yeah"
    end
  end

script/console will behave like this:
  >> UnassignedUser.shout
  NameError: uninitialized constant UnassignedUser (...)
  >> User
  => User(id: integer, login: string, email: string, password: string,
created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime)
  >> UnassignedUser.shout
  yeah
  => nil

UnassignedUser gets only loaded when User is loaded. put it in its own
file and maybe add:
  self.abstract_class = true

other than that you can load it whenever you want via include or
require.
