Some of this clears up my issues around sharing behaviors that you can pass parameters to. I was doing a hackish solution before by including a module then calling a method it provides, but now I can have shared behaviors and just have them call specific methods which then become a convention to define. It still feels hackish, but not nearly as much. Is there another way?
