It is probably best I don’t bother explaining how or why I ended up wanting to reference an existing Gemfile from another Gemfile, but suffice to say it is something I sort of needed to do. After a bit of searching I came across the following post,

.
The most relevant bit is the use of eval like below in the Gemfile you want to include another Gemfile in.
filename="..." eval(IO.read(filename), binding)
