Hmm... I guess that is too complex. b/c why not just:

  $services = {}

  class Class
    def needs(name)
      define_method(name){ $services[name] }
    end
  end

  class Nitro::Element
    needs :server
  end

  my_server = Nitro::Server.new

  $services[:server] = my_server

Okay, i'll shut up now... ;-)
