newbie mixin question

[Michael Garriss]

Hi,
Just 2 questions:

1) How can I mixin a class method (not an instance method)?

2) How can I force a certain method to be called when the an object of a
class that includes that module is initialized? Sort of like a mixin
initialize....

TIA

Define initialize in the module, and call super from the class which
mixes it in.

Bar.extend(Foo)
end

Bar.foo

[matz:]

class Bar
Bar.extend(Foo)
end

Alternatively

class Bar
extend Foo
end
