Sure.

class Animal
  def greet
    puts "Hi, I'm an Animal."
  end
end

class Dog < Animal
end

Dog.new.greet

--output:--
Hi, I'm an Animal.

module Stuff
  def greet
    puts 'Hello there.'
  end
end

new_superclass = Stuff
Dog.class_eval("include #{new_superclass}")
Dog.new.greet

--output:--
Hello there.
