Exactly.  Were you to use the ClockMod.inc file you would put:

#declare clock_type="D"
#include "clockmod.inc"
#declare Decel=mclock;

Then use Decel in place of 'clock' where you want the deceleration.
To combine different types just add this:

#declare clock_combine="W"

before the include line and you will get a wave, or back and forth movement
that also slows down.
Also using separate declarations for individual parts of movement too:

#declare clock_type="D"
#include "clockmod.inc"
#declare Decel=mclock;

#declare clock_type="W"
#include "clockmod.inc"
#declare Wave=mclock;

and put those in where most likely to go, like one for z translation and
other for y.  Hope that made sense.
Plenty is possble just using the include, but there is a macro now too.
