ActiveRecord::AssociationTypeMismatch (User(#54754560) expected, got User(#54510280))

i keep getting this AssociationTypeMismatch error. i think this could
be a bug related to ruby/rails when using mixins. heres a short
version of my code:

user.rb

require ‘friend_invitation’
require ‘friendship’

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include FriendInvitationUser, FriendshipUser


end

friendship.rb

module FriendshipUser
def self.included(includer)
includer.class_eval do
has_many :friends, :through => :friendship
end
end

true, if other_user is a friend of mine

def friend_of?(other_user)
Friendship.between?(self, other_user)
end


end

so basically I’m using modules to mixin new aspects into the User
model (kinda like AOP in ruby). i believe that these mixins together
with the require statements at the top of the User model file cause
the AssociationTypeMismatch. if i get the error, a restart of my
development server solves the problem - but that can’t be the
solution. any ideas where this error comes from or what to do about
it?

any help very appreciated!

using require like this can bust stuff (see
