If it is indeed only present as inclusions, then it shouldn't be in the formula at all.
If the Sn is structural, then I guess garnets would compensate the charge as they do for Ti: It would be in the second formula position, replacing Al, not Ca, with charge compensated either by a divalent metal in the same position, or by trivalent Fe or Al replacing Si. But that's just my guess.
As we do not know, it would perhaps be best to just erase the formula entirely?

They didn't see any inclusions of cassiterite in their thin sections.

There is one 20 miles East of Sun Valley, Idaho. I don't think tin was the target element of the prospect, but rather copper and silver.
I collected it many years ago, but could not determine the host for the tin, the reason I visited the property.
The source of the tin was NOT cassiterite.
Diopside was prominent. Would that be a better mineral to contaminate the structure with tin than grossular or andradite ?
If I recall correctly, beryllium was also a prominent trace element.

Also, Sn-bearing Andradites are known from non-slag localities too. See http://www.mindat.org/loc-2388.html and http://www.mindat.org/photo-473126.html
