 no, with

  module B
     def initialize
        super
     end
  end

  class A
     include B
  end

  A.new

 ruby call B#initialize but the #super in B#initialize will search
 #initialize in Object, then Kernel

  with

  class A
     include B

     def initialize
     # without super
     end
  end

 ruby call only A#initialize
