When these failed, incorporation was conducted via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses.

No. In reference to the Constitution, "incorporation" means applying portions of the Bill of Rights to the States, to prevent the states from infringing on people's constitutional rights. A change or addition to the Constitution is called an amendment.
Total incorporation (sometimes called "mechanical incorporation") would apply the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights (the Ninth and Tenth aren't individual rights; the Ninth isn't triable) to the states as a single unit via the Fourteenth Amendment, as some constitutional scholars argue was the original intent.Selective incorporation applies individual clauses within the Bill of Rights as the need arises due to US Supreme Court decisions. This has left certain portions of the first eight amendments, including the Second and Seventh Amendments in their entirety, under state government control. Second Amendment incorporation was recently challenged in McDonald v. Chicago, (2010); the Court is expected to make a determination on the matter by the end of June 2010.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Yes, but only for those portions of the Bill of Rights which have been incorporated to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses. The US Supreme Court uses a process called "selective incorporation" that applies the first eight amendments of the Bill of Rights to the states on a clause-by-clause basis as need arises, but not all amendments or clauses within amendments have been applied.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
