For me (not the OP), one of those sounds better, less opportunity for 
confusion, imho.

Maybe of those, target would be good, and it might often be preceded by 
"mixin", e.g., I might refer to the "mixin" and the "mixin target".

Hmm, actually, mixin doesn't sound quite right for the first case (the thing 
being mixed in), but I don't have a better suggestion ATM.
