[Rubycocoa-talk] Shared Knowledge

[Dave H. <gr...@gr...>]

So where's a good place to put things I've learned that others might 
want to know? I managed to break my window loaders three times while 
trying to get things organized before finally figuring out what was 
going on.

The code for the RubyCocoa sample "RubyRaiseMan" for example, has
	require 'PreferenceController'
in MyDocument.rb. I *thought* when looking at rb_main.rb, that it would 
load ALL *.rb files, but if I also didn't include all my own .rb files 
at the beginning of my main file, classes would go missing, and windows 
would not open.

Lo. Inline code is run at loading, and the loading order is undefined. 
(It looks like it's alphabetical.) I think I can finally predict the 
order of code outside a class, inside a class, inside the "init" 
method, inside the "initialize" method, ditto for all the above in 
files other than the main file, and how to use 
applicationDidFinishLaunching to delay some code further.

Back to work...
