Message: [QUOTE="matt neuburg, post: 4534017"] What's the point of a class-within-a-class? For example, I take it that I can say: class Foo class Bar def whatever ... And then I can say my_foo_bar = Foo::Bar.new For example, isn't that what something like File::Stat is? My question is, am I right about this, and if so, what's the point of doing so? I take it that Bar is not magically related to Foo - it can't see Foo's methods or anything like that, can it? So is this merely a way of using a class (Foo) as a namespace so that related classes (like Bar) are all in one place? Thx - m. [/QUOTE]
