-:attr_configuration_hash provides inheritable configuration that cascades downward. 
+# Usage #
 
-Configuration inheritance can cascade through modules, classes, and instances.
+## First Module ##
 
-:attr_configuration_hash defines a single attribute accessor that composes the set of configuration values appropriate to the ancestor level being queried (merging downward from most distant ancestor to self). An internal cache is kept, and any configuration updates that occur to higher-level ancestors cascade immediately downward.
+1. Define initial configuration in a module.
 
-# Install #
+A class works just as well, but we can't use a module in the same chain if we start with a class.
 
-* sudo gem install cascading-configuration
+* Include module to enable attr_configuration_array.
 
-# Usage #
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule
+	include CascadingConfiguration::Array
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Declare attr_configuration_array.
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule
+    attr_configuration_array :some_array_configuration
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Set initial value.
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule
+    self.some_array_configuration = [ :some_value ]
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Verify initial configuration value
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule
+
+    # => some_array_configuration.should == [ :some_value ]
+
+  end
+
+```
+
+## Including Module 1 ##
+
+2. Include initial module in another module.
+
+Including the module that has included a CascadingConfiguration module is the same as including a CascadingConfiguration module.
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule2
+    include CascadingConfiguration::MockModule
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Verify inherited value
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule2
+    # => some_array_configuration.should == [ :some_value ]
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Override inherited value
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule2
+    self.some_array_configuration = [ :module_value ]
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Verify local override value
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule2
+    # => some_array_configuration.should == [ :module_value ]
+  end
+
+```
+
+## Including Module 2 ##
+
+3. Include second module in another module.
+
+```ruby
+
+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule3
+    include CascadingConfiguration::MockModule2
+  end
+
+```
+
+* Verify inherited value

+  module CascadingConfiguration::MockModule3
+    # => some_array_configuration.should == [ :module_value ]
+  end
+
+```
+
+## Top Class ##
+
+4. Include third module in a class.
+
+```ruby

+    include CascadingConfiguration::MockModule3

+  end

+5. Instantiate class.

+  # => CascadingConfiguration::MockClass.some_array_configuration.should == [ :another_value ]
+  # => CascadingConfiguration::MockModule.some_array_configuration.should == [ :some_value ]
+
+```
+
+# First Inheriting Class #
+
+6. Inheriting class.
+
+Inheriting class should not get any settings from instance of superclass.
+
+* Verify inherited value
