Don't use alias_method_chain.

Ever.

You already have inheritance.

It works far better.

Use super:

module DSL
   def initialize
     puts "dsl initialize"
   end
end

class Something
   include DSL

   def initialize
     super
     puts "something initialize"
   end
end

Oh, inheritance also works when you don't bother to define initialize  
in Something.
