Someone else may have a more elegant or easier way of doing this but
this is how I deal with customized packages.
The proper syntax for the Needs function is the following:
Needs["context`file`"]
Your attempts do not have the quotations in the proper order,
nor do they contain the package context, which refers to the name of
the folder where your package is located. Check out
the ..\AddOns\StandardPackages folder and see how the other (built-in)
packages are organized. I place the packages I write myself in a
special folder within the path of the Mathematica StandardPackages.
For example,
C:\Program Files\Wolfram
Research\Mathematica\4.\AddOns\StandardPackages\myPackages
If the package myPoisson.m resides in the myPackages folder,
the Needs function to call this package looks like this:
Needs["myPackages`myPoisson`"]
Good luck,
John
