Yes I have also looked at 'packaging' other Ruby methods with mine to give extended functions in distributed scripts [I gave up!]. The real complexity is that as soon as you look to import one new moved over method, then you'll almost certainly find that it includes 'requires' for several other files, these files in turn require other files and so on. You'll end up with a massive tangle of files/subfolders 'requiring' other files ad nauseam, and one mistype/misplaced line of code breaks everything - makings untangling it all very very hard...
