+---
+
+The `include` keyword statically "spreads" all public values, types, modules, etc. of a given module into the current module's scope. This is sometimes useful to create supersets / mixins of different modules.
+
+> Note that `include` may make your code more complex and harder to understand when abused. Think twice before using it.
+
+### Include module example
+
+<CodeTab labels={["ReScript", "JS Output"]}>
+
+```res
+module Message = {
+  let greeting = "Hello"
+}
+
+module Greeter = {
+  include Message
+  let greet = name => greeting ++ " " ++ name
+}
+```
+
+```js
+var greeting = "Hello";
+
+var Message = {
+  greeting: greeting,
+};
+
+function greet(name) {
+  return "Hello " + name;
+}
+
+var Greeter = {
+  greeting: greeting,
+  greet: greet,
+};
+```
+
+</CodeTab>
+
+Similarly, module signatures can also be extended by other module signatures.
+
+### Include signature example
+
+<CodeTab labels={["ReScript", "JS Output"]}>
+
+```res
+module type Message = {
+  let greeting: string
+}
+
+module type Greeter = {
+  include Message
+  let greet: string => string
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// No output
+```
+
+</CodeTab>
+
+Lastly, you can also extract module types from existing modules using `module type of`.
+
+### Include "module type of" example
+
+<CodeTab labels={["ReScript", "JS Output"]}>
+
+```res
+module Message = {
+  let greeting = "Hello"
+}
+
+module type Greeter = {
+  // Includes the type definitions of Message
+  include module type of Message
+  let greet: string => string
+}
+```
+
+```js
+var Message = {
+  greeting: "Hello"
+};
+```
+
+</CodeTab>
