Hmm.. actually there's still something amiss. Doing the include as described above changed the error from:
Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function utils::basename to: Error 400 on SERVER: Function 'basename' does not return a value ..which made me think it was now being found. I then fixed the bug by adding to basename definition the required :type => :rvalue . However, instead of solving the issue I now see the message: Error 400 on SERVER: undefined method `basename' Any suggestions would be most welcome at this point! Thank you.
