      This is a bit cleaner, but I'd probably look at a listing/related.rb that requires everything else in listing/.

      What, exactly, is in these files you are including? Perhaps it would be better to just let Rails load them automatically?

      Thanks for your help guys :)

I use require_dependency because it is used to reload source files on each request when in development mode.
