Support for testing amcaninclude via
pg_indexam_has_property(oid,'can_include') seems to be missing?

Also the return values of pg_index_column_has_property for included
columns seem a bit dubious... should probably be returning NULL for most
properties except 'returnable'.

I can look at fixing these for you if you like?
