In the case of STIs with a hierarchy of more than two levels, you can preload the leaves of the hierarchy in an initializer:
If your application has STIs, please check their section in the guide [Autoloading and Reloading Constants (Zeitwerk Mode)](autoloading_and_reloading_constants.html#single-table-inheritance).
```ruby
# config/initializers/preload_stis.rb
# By preloading leaves, the hierarchy is loaded upwards following
# the references to superclasses in the class definitions.
sti_leaves=%w(
app/models/leaf1.rb
app/models/leaf2.rb
app/models/leaf3.rb
)
Rails.autoloaders.main.preload(sti_leaves)
```
