David,
That error message indicates that $ie is nil, which is to say, it
hasn't been initialized. It needs to be assigned in the test_* method
or the initialize method. (Or you need to get fancy, which is what we
do in our unit tests.)
You said that you are trying to structure your test scripts. I suggest
you do this in smaller steps. First just put the common code in a
separate method (not called test*) in the same class. Then move it
outside the class. And only then move it to a new file. There are
small gotcha's with each step, so it's worth taking these small steps
until you understand the source of each of them.
