Hello,  
Is there a way to require a gem only when specific controller is  
accessed. I have one plugng that doesn’t like co-existing with a  
gem(active scaffold and will\_paginate).  
I have two controllers that use will\_paginate, but no active scaffold  
and I thought of requiring that gem only for those two.  
Possible?
