I can't reproduce the problem you are having. If I do what you
describe as causing the error (LoginForm code in separate file), with
the requires you list, I get a different error:

./Forms/LoginForm.rb:1: uninitialized constant FXMainWindow (NameError)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require'
        from app.rb:1

If I move the first require after the require 'fox16'; include Fox;
pair, it works, even with the LoginForm code in a separate file.
