Thank you, Matt, I have finally got it working. The trick is passing 
self to the initialize of the matcher class like:

def be_allowed_to_visit(url)
  BeAllowedToVisit.new(url, self) # def initialize(url, scope); 
scope.visit url...;end
end

One problem less :) Next one to be solved: making Selenium work faster 
with Webrat :)

Thanks,

Rodrigo.
