I included attachment_fu in my page_attachments extension. It was kind of tricky, but here's the basic strategy:
1) Import the plugin's lib/ directory into the lib/ directory of your extension via svn:externals, piston, or an export. 2) Copy the contents of the init.rb file into the 'activate' method of your extension. You may have to fiddle with things to make sure they work right. Here's another potential strategy, YMMV: (in 'activate') 1) Wherever you stored it, push the plugin's lib/ directory into the load path. 2) Load or require the plugin's init.rb. In either strategy, the plugin should probably be dealt with first (i.e. placed first in the activate method) if your extension depends on it during its activation.
