Giles, it depends on what you're willing to pay :-)

If you can change the code doing the "include", there are libraries like 
import-module (see the RAA) which let you do what you want.

If you can't or don't want to change the code with the "include", I see 
no other way than to directly access the internal structures of the Ruby 
objects. This can be done using a little C extension, or with plain Ruby 
code using techniques from the evil library (see RubyForge).

If you want to go one of these routes and need more info, please ask again.
