 Simple explanation: classes A and B both define methods `foo', as does
 module M. A includes M before defining its own `foo', whereas B includes M
 afterwards.

 Given that A and B both call `super' in their `foo', it turns out that
 only A's `foo' ends up calling M's, whereas B's does not.

 Conclusion: including the module which defines the method after defining
 ones own causes it to be lost. I believe this is causes the problem first
 referred to in #215.

 Attaching a test case which verifies this behaviour.
