'took into consideration' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'uncle did badly' is the wordplay.

'uncle'+'did'='uncledid'
'uncledid' is an anagram of 'INCLUDED'.

'as' acts as a link.
