Hi all

I’m working on a module that an application controller can include.  
Within that module I specify some action methods. I want to secure them  
from invalid parameters, so I’d like to use ApplicationController’s  
verify() method in the modules body. But sadly it doesn’t know this  
method yet…  
Is there a way to let the module know this method? Some sort of  
after\_include method that’s automatically called after the module has  
been mixed into the class?

Thanks a lot,  
Josh
