Rails - May 2008 - before_create event or method

I have multiple models which have certain(same) action(let us call it
action1) to be performed on before_create, and other common
funcionallity.
Also in only certain model action2 is also to be performed.

class Model1
def before_create
    #do action1
   #do action2
end
#other commmon functionallity
end

class Model2
  def before_create
    #do action1
  end
  #other commmon functionallity
end

class Model3
  def before_create
    #do action1
  end

   #other commmon functionallity
end

Now action1 and ''other common functionallity" can be seperated
into a
seperate module.
But what about "action2" in Model1.
If before_create was an event then a chain of event handeller could be
assigned. But before_create is a method. What to do?
Thanks,,,,

before_create can be a method but I usually use it differently. IE, you 
can do this:

class Model1
 before_create :action1
 before_create :action2
#other commmon functionallity
end

class Model2
  before_create :action1
  #other commmon functionallity
end

class Model3
  before_create :action1

  #other commmon functionallity
end

I believe using it this way allows for the desired "event chaining" 
behavior.
