Rails - Nov 2009 - Redundant require lib statements

Hi,

Let''s say in Model1 I require ''net/http'', and in
Model9 I also require
''net/http'' because I forgot it was already required in Mode1,
will that
cause a problem?

Should I redundantly require libs? Should I put require statements in a
common place? What''s the consensus on that?


Best regards,

Nope. The second require will be ignored (note that ruby just looks at
the string you pass require - you could force it to load net/http a
second time by doing require ''/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/
http'' (assuming that is where those files were on disk)).
