Check objRef.class.ancestors or ClassName.ancestors to know the inheritance chain. If the super class does not contain the method, then all modules included by the super class are checked (last included checked first). If no match, then it moves up one level to the grandparent class and so on.
You can use the list of ancestors and then call AncestorClass.methods.select{|m| m.include?("auto_load")} to zone in on the method that's being called.

(Note: the above code is Ruby 1.8. In 1.9 methods returns symbols instead of strings. so you'd have to do a m.to_s.include?(...)
