watir

I have some single watir.rb scripts that use IE and are written in a standard watir way.

How do I create a test group that combines them? I want all of them be executed by executing the main script.

Is it possible to auto include single test files into a test group by subidr?

Is it possible to enumerate the files that should be included in the test group?

Can I cascade (include other watir test groups in a watir test group)?
