That's ok, since in ruby classes are open, so you can redefine them  
later. e.g.

   class Foo
     def method1
     end
   end

   class Foo
     def method2
     end
   end

The above is all ok and ends up with one class Foo with two methods.

The exception you're getting (Date is not a class) comes if the name  
'Date' has previously been used for another purpose, for example as a  
module:

   module Date
   end
   class Date
   end #=> Date is not a class (TypeError)

Can you check that this doesn't happen anywhere in your code or any  
library code that's getting used?
