Rails - Jan 2007 - Models and Modules and subclassing, oh my!

So, our application has a large number of models at this point, and I''m
getting a bit worried about people having to use long names, as well as
clashes in the global namespace.  More recently I wanted to add a new
table with some STI subclasses of that table...

module Portal
end

class Portal::Base < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :widget
end

However, Widget is a top level class, Object::Widget.
What I find is that this generates an error, Portal::Widget
(portal/widget.rb) could not be found.  Is this a problem with the way
ruby or rails is attempting to load this class under the module?  I
suppose that it is ambiguous, did I mean Portal::Widget or
Object::Widget, but the ambiguity should be able to be resolved by the
fact that Portal::Widget doesn''t exist, but Object::Widget does.

Has anyone dealt with this before?
