FW: Fox include question

ruby-talk
1

Why does this work:

require ‘fox’

module Test2
include Fox
class Foo
class Bar < FXMainWindow
end
end
end

and not this:

module Base
class Y
end
end

module Test
include Base
class Foo
class Bar < Y # undefined superclass ‘Y’ (TypeError)
end
end
end

Is Fox doing something strange to allow inner scoped classes to see
constants when its included with outer scoped modules/classes?

I also think the behavior changed in 14 and 15
