I'm moderately sure that Ruby doesn't internally keep track of the order
in which classes were defined, or the order in which methods are added
to them. But that doesn't mean you can't do it yourself with a little
bit of work.
#track_methods.rb
class Module
def track_methods
@methods_in_order =
class << self
attr_reader :methods_in_order
def method_added( method_name )
@methods_in_order << method_name
end
end
end
end
# init.rb
module Foo
def init
self.class.methods_in_order.each do |init_meth|
unless init_meth==:initialize
self.send( init_meth )
end
end
end
end
class Bar
include Foo
track_methods
def initialize
init
end
def init_1; puts "Calling init_1!"; end
end
class Bar
def init_2; puts "Calling init_2!"; end
def init_3; puts "Calling init_3!"; end
def init_4; puts "Calling init_4!"; end
end
#init_2.rb
require 'track_methods'
require 'init'
class Bar
def init_5; puts "Calling init_5!"; end
def init_6; puts "Calling init_6!"; end
end
Bar.new
#=> Calling init_1!
#=> Calling init_2!
#=> Calling init_3!
#=> Calling init_4!
#=> Calling init_5!
#=> Calling init_6!
