Subject: Why can I extend, but not include, DL::Importable?

Hi all,

Windows XP Pro
Ruby 1.8.2 (Installer)

I'm just curious why I can't include DL::Importable in a class.

require "dl/import"

# This works
module Foo
   extend DL::Importable
   dlload("advapi32")
   
   extern("HANDLE OpenEventLog(char*,char*)")
   extern("BOOL CloseEventLog(HANDLE)")
end

# This doesn't
module Foo
   class Bar
      include DL::Importable     # also tried 'extend' for kicks 
      dlload("advapi32")

      extern("HANDLE OpenEventLog(char*,char*)")
      extern("BOOL CloseEventLog(HANDLE)")
   end
end

I feel I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't know what it
is.  Insight appreciated.  Thanks.

Dan
