Rails - May 2005 - module mixin problems

Hi,

I''m trying to "mixin" a module into my ApplicationController
class so
that my other controllers which inherit ApplicationController will get
the methods in my module.

I''m having some trouble getting things to work. My application.rb and
bsecure.rb file contents are pasted below. Ruby seems to find my
module okay, but the method doesn''t appear to any of my controllers. I
just get (for example):

undefined method `authenticate'' for #<UserController:0x2445c70>

Any help as to where I''ve fell off the rails is greatly appreciated!

Ben

--------

require "bsecure.rb"

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
	include BSecure
	before_filter :authenticate
end

----

module BSecure
	def authenticate
           render_text "authenticate"
       end
end

I found a solution to my problem:

The require line should be in environment.rb and then everything works
perfectly (the include stays in application.rb).
