Question

I have two modules with the same method name. When I include both modules in some class, only the method of the last module is executed. I need instead both to be executed when I initialize the class:

class MyClass
    include FirstModule
    include SecondModule

    def initialize
        foo # foo is contained in both modules but only the one in SecondModules is executed
    end
end

Is it doable?

Answer 1

Can you modify the included modules? Perhaps you just call super in the second module?

module M1
  def foo
    p :M1
  end
end

module M2
  def foo
    p :M2
    defined?(super) && super
  end
end

class SC
  include M1
  include M2

  def initialize
    foo
  end
end

SC.new

Or perhaps you actually want to do this?

module M1
  def bar; p :M1 end
end

module M2
  include M1
  def foo; bar; p :M2 end
end

class SC
  include M2
  def initialize; foo end
end
