Rails - Jul 2005 - Reloading of Classes not inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base

I have a class that I put in the ../models directory that is not inheriting from
ActiveRecord::Base.  When running in development mode, changes to the class are
not picked up unless I stop/start the server (WEBrick).  

When I make it inherit from ActiveRecord::Base it changes are picked up.  As
this class really does not reflect a database table, is there a way to get the
benefit of having changes picked up without the (false) inheritance?

Use require_dependency rather than require to tell rails to reload the
class every request in dev mode.

Cheers,

Chris
