This will require every file in lib and its subdirectories:
files = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'..','lib','**','*.rb')
Dir.glob(files).each do |file|
require file
end

If you must have it as a one liner (a little harder to read imho):
Dir.glob(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'..','lib','**','*.rb')).each{|
file| require file}

This assumes you're keeping your directory structure organized
something like:
|~project_root/
| |~lib/
| | |+config/
| | |+common/
| | |+page/
| |~test/
| | |-test.rb
