What?  No, not even close.

An incorporate dependency is like an optional dependency, in that it does
not cause the named package to be installed, but rather than constraining
the named package to merely a minimum version, constrains it with a minimum
*and* a maximum.  Specifically, a version of x.y.z in an incorporate
dependency allows for that specific version or for arbitrary subsequences
to be appended to it: x.y.z.w.q.x is fine, but x.y.n is not for n != z.
