Root Difference between Freeze and Exclude?

Hello,
I use a few different ROM tools for different things.
Some can freeze an app and one that I have can "Exclude" a running app. Just wondering what the difference is?
There are Alps I don't need to use frequently such as appbrain but I don't want it to stay open in background. Can I use exclude to do this? If I freeze an app,the problem is that it removes it from app drawer.

Thanks,

If you download and install ROM Toolbox, you will see the option when you switch over to the running apps. Do a quick touch on an app and you'll see this option on the popup menu. This one really confused me. Not sure what it is supposed to do.

I love Titanium. Been using it for years and had it in my Windows phones. It certainly has improved in so many ways.

ROM Toolbox though is simply amazing!! Seriously...
It is now my very favorite root tool available. Whatever you can think of, it will do it!! Doesn't matter what it is. This is where I discovered this new "option" for an app. Just afraid to hit that button! lol

Exclide is part of the rom.toolbox task killer....selecting that option "excludes" the app from being killed
 
Oh really??? I instantly thought it was the other way around!

It really is kind of misleading because you can only perform this action on the running apps menu. That's why I thought it would simply exclude it from loading.
