Hi Justin

I tried that config.include call in my test.rb file, but Rails complains::

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/railtie/configuration.rb:77:in
`method_missing'': undefined method `include'' for
#<Rails::Application::Configuration:0x000000027b3098> (NoMethodError)
    from /home/egervari/Projects/training/config/environments/test.rb:36:in
`block in <top (required)>''

I am using Rails 3.0.7

I hope we can get this to work because that would solve part of this
problem. Then I can look at shared state to log the user in and other
things.

Ken
