Unless you were duplicating model names eg. First::Model, and Second::Model, you probably just wanted to keep your models in different directories. so your app/models directory looks like; first/ alpha.rb beta.rb gamma.rb second/ one.rb two.rb three.rb Rails will automatically expect second/one.rb to define Second::One. however, you could just add "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/second" to your load path in environment.rb In this case, it'll just look in these additional directories for normal models. (the test files you can sort as you want, same with fixtures) "config.load_paths += %W( #{path1} #{path2} )" would do it. I think you made this too hard for yourself.

you probably just wanted to keep your models in different directories.

so your app/models directory looks like;
first/
alpha.rb
beta.rb
gamma.rb
second/
one.rb
two.rb
three.rb

Rails will automatically expect second/one.rb to define Second::One.
however, you could just add “#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/second” to your load path in environment.rb
In this case, it’ll just look in these additional directories for normal models.

“config.load_paths += %W( #{path1} #{path2} )” would do it.
