module CKHTMLTableUser
   def self.included(cl)
     cl.class_eval do
       alias_method :normal_init, :init
       def init
         puts "init from CKHTMLTableUser"
         normal_init
       end
     end
   end
end

class C
#  include CKHTMLTableUser # This way won't work.
   def init
     puts "init from C"
   end
   include CKHTMLTableUser
end

C.new.init
