Parameter passing across two files

[Chris88]

Hello,

can somebody say how to pass a parameter across two files in ruby?
To be exact it's a variable, which contains a string.
The string changes its value at the runtime.
Is there a problem with sketchup?

Thank you.

module Chris88

  @@common_var_name = "some string value"

  # create a getter method for @@common_var_name
  #
  def self.common_var_name()
    return @@common_var_name
  end #def method

end #module

file: "chris88/plugin_one.rb"

require("chris88/chris88_mod.rb")

module Chris88;;PluginOne

  local_var_name = Chris88.common_var_name()
  # local_var_name is pointing at the SAME string object that
  #  Chris88;;@@common_var_name is also pointing at.

  # If you wish a copy then;
  local_var_copy = Chris88.common_var_name().dup

end #module

file: "chris88/plugin_two.rb"

require("chris88/chris88_mod.rb")

module Chris88;;PluginTwo

  puts( "The value of my common string is; #{Chris88.common_var_name()}" )

end #module
