What happens is that your app loads and serves the first request fine. Then rails unloads unloadable code. When the next request arrives, ActiveRecord::Base, which isn't reloadable now has the dead module included.

You do (if my memory is correct) need to use absolute paths though - check what's already in ActiveSupport::Dependencies.load_once_paths Fred > - adding unloadable to the Foo::Base module > - moving the include line (ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, ...) into > config/initializers/foo.rb > > But nothing helps :( > > Any help will be appreciated.
