inclusion exclusion rule code

I a trying to write a code wish calculate the probability of multi variable event based on
the inclusion exclusion rude defined here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion%E2%80%93exclusion_principle

Does anyone know about a matlab code that does this?
I tried to write my code but I had a hard time doing so after the 3rd term.

Thank you
