if you are checking AccountSystem.account_system_type in your
controller what is the point of including it in ApplicationController?
If you plan to use it as such, maybe you are better off making it a
Singleton Class.

If you actually want account_system_type to be a class accessor on
ApplicationController you must do something like this:

Module AccountSystem
  SINGLE = 1
  MULTIPLE = 2

  self.included(klass)
    klass.send(:cattr_accessor, :account_system_id)
  end
end

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include AccountSystem

  # this is how you would use it
  def random_method
    self.class.account_system_id == AccountSystem::SINGLE
  end
end

That should do what you seem to want, but if your goal was something
different let me know and I can try to help.

Of note, if you do use the above solution you could do:

Module AccountSystem
  ...

  def single?
    self.class.account_system_id == SINGLE
  end

  def multiple?
    self.class.account_system_id == MULTIPLE
  end

  ...
end

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include AccountSystem

  # this is how you would use it
  def random_method
    if single?
      puts "single"
    elsif multiple?
      puts "multiple"
    else
      raise "please set the AccountSystem.acoun_type_id"
    end
  end
end
