That's a cut-and-paste include. Ruby's is by reference, and is closer
to multiple-inheritance than to #include.

For example

   module A
     def fred
       puts "Hi"
     end
   end

   class C1
     include A
   end

   c1 = C1.new
   c1.fred

   module A
     def bert
       puts "bye"
     end
   end

   c1.bert
