Access to mixed in method straight after its been mixedin???

Hi,

Can't I access methods directly after they have been mixed
in?

In the code below I get an error at the marked location
"undefined local 
variable or method `current_user' for
ApplicationController:Class" even 
though I've already mixed in the variable into the class. 
Note that 
when I use "current_user.login" in another
place, for example in an 
action in a specific controller, it works fine, but just not
here in the 
ApplicationController directly after the mix in.

Can you spot why at all?  Tks in advance.

============================================
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
	include ActiveRbacMixins::ApplicationControllerMixin
	u = current_user.login         <=== ERROR OCCURS HERE
end
============================================
module ActiveRbacMixins
  module ApplicationControllerMixin
    def self.included(base)
      base.class_eval do
        protected
          def current_user
            return active_rbac_user unless active_rbac_user.nil?
            active_rbac_user =
                    if session[:rbac_user_id].nil? then
                      ::AnonymousUser.instance
                    else
                      ::User.find(session[:rbac_user_id])
                    end
            return active_rbac_user
          end
      end
    end
  end
end
============================================

current_user is an ApplicationController instance method,
which
you can't use in the class context of a class definition.
Perhaps you want to put the setting of u (or u) in a
before_filter.
