Cannot use this with ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) on Rails 2.3.8

I cannot use settings logic because the osx import invoke name method upon class initialization, which in turn trigger Settingslogic instantiation before the "source yml_file" being executed, lead to error.
Here is the trace I produced with debugger
