We present such an integration that even works for higher-order logic. This integration is based on lemma and induction hypothesis application for free variable sequent and tableau calculi. We discuss the appropriateness of these types of calculi for this integration. The deductive part of this integration requires the first combination of raising, explicit variable dependency representation, the liberalized delta-rule, and preservation of solutions.}}
