I've tried to do something similar to Simon too and been disappointed.

I was trying:

load_app 'MyApp::Secret', prefix =>'/secret', before => &admin_only;

I think the surprising thing is the fact that "before" spans packages. 
Within a package, I'm happy with multiple occurrences chaining, but it 
seems wrong for an included module to change global behaviour.
