Use Ruby Modules instead of Classes to encapsulate the behaviour of 
the inner windows, such as your Panel. After the layout has been loaded 
from XRC, retrieve the panel, and use something like

panel.extend(MyPanelBehaviours)

To add the logic to it. If needed, you can use Module.extended to do initialize-
like work in setting up the Panel.

By the way, XRCise will do this automatically for you, if you name your
inner windows.
