[rspec-users] Too Clever?

[Michael Latta]

That works when running one at a time.  When I want to run all my  
specs how do I ensure the requires are applied to the appropriate  
features?  It is not all my stories, only a subset that are dual- 
purposed.  Do I need to have directories for those that can be run  
dual mode and those that are not, and then have a script that runs the  
3 cases?
