Could you make Y a module?

class X
  module Y
    # methods
  end
  include Y
  # more methods
end

Or, if Y needs to be a class:

class X
  module M
    # methods for Y
  end
  class Y; include M; end # Y implements nothing itself
  include M
  # add methods to X here
end

That way, X and Y both inherit from M, but Y is basically an empty class
that acts as an instantiable version of module M.
