`enum` currently does not support including a module.  
There is a feature request for this, tracked at [Add include and extend to Enum · Issue #8946 · crystal-lang/crystal · GitHub](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/8946)

Depending on what you actually need this for, you could consider macros as a workaround for sharing code between multiple types.
