 No, this not "include" but really "insert" (i.e. another way)

 For 2 classes A < B you have


                   extend put the class here
                             |
                             |
                             |
                             v
                  meta-A <========= meta-B
                    ^                  ^
    insert put      |                  |
    the class ====> |                  |
    here            |                  |
                    A    <=========    B
                             ^
                             |
                             |
                    include put the class here

 You have method specifics to the metaclass
