General ⇒ Problem with \RequirePackage and \usepackage

[kyp4]

Hi all, I am trying to use a LaTeX style developed by a professor at my university to format my thesis but am running into compilation errors. In his style he uses \RequirePackage for three packages, which as far as I know just basically includes the package. In my document I use \usepackage to import numerous packages that I need. The problem is that, if I include a single package (which is different from the packages he uses) in my document, I get the following compilation error:

! LaTeX Error: \RequirePackage or \LoadClass in Options Section.

I don't see why including a package in the style would prohibit inclusion of additional packages in the document. Thanks for any help.

For anyone who may in the future have this problem, especially when trying to use Dr. Mateti's Wright State thesis/dissertation template, the problem is that his style does not execute:

\ExecuteOptions{..}
\ProcessOptions

In the the style (which it probably should) and I was trying to include a package before these are called.
