In the context of the United States Constitutional law, incorporation refers to applying the first 10 amendments of the US Constitution to the state and local governments in the United States.
As of year 2023, the 3rd, grand jury indictment clause of the 5th, and the 7th Amendments don't apply to the states.
State action doctrine
State action doctrine means that private parties can't normally be required to abide by the first 10 Amendments to the US Constitution. Thus, the first 10 Amendments may be said to not have been "incorporated" against private entities.
