Yes it is. It is exactly what J.C. Filliâtre propose.

You can use the "include" statement:

module M = struct type s = S type t = T1 | T2 end
module type S = sig type s = M.s = S end
module type T = sig type t = M.t = T1 | T2 end
module type ST = sig include S include T end
module MS : S = M
module MT : T = M
module MST : ST = M
