Right now I have an initializer that does this:
ActiveRecord::Base.send :has_many, :notes, :as => :notable
ActiveRecord::Base.send :accepts_nested_attributes_for, :notes
It builds the association just fine, except when I load a view that uses it, the second load gives me:
can't dup NilClass
from:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:2184:in `dup'
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/base.rb:2184:in `scoped_methods'

(my app)/controllers/manifests_controller.rb:21:in `show'
Any ideas? Am I doing this the wrong way? Interestingly if I move the association onto just the model I'm working with at the moment, I don't get this error. I figure I must be building the global association incorrectly.
