The Brache-Cook has only a simple view on Mixins in CLOS and Flavors. Actually the more interesting parts are not described. Instead they focus on problems they perceive, but which rarely play a role in practice.

RPG uses mixins as a direct example of the concept, very interesting read if you can get through his style.
My Lisp Machine has a lot more examples of this...
