Hello all,

I have a module, illustrated below, with a few classes. I have required  
environment.rb and can access my models just fine outside the module,  
and even within the module’s root, but once I try and access one inside  
a module class I get an uninitialized constant error. Anyone know how I  
can access these models within these module classes?

# Module Illustration

module Foo  
puts Chapter.find(x).attr ## Works

Class Bar \< SuperClass  
puts Chapter.find(x).attr ## Fails, uninitialized constant  
Foo::Bar::Chapter  
puts ActiveRecord::Chapter.find(x).attr ## Fails, uninitialized  
constant ActiveRecord::Chapter  
end  
end
