The principle of inclusions states that any rocks or materials included in another rock formation must be older than the formation itself. In the case of raisin bread, the raisins would be the inclusion and the bread would be the formation. Therefore, the age of the raisins, relative to the bread, can be determined using the principle of inclusions.
