We derive generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs) including dipoles and quadrupoles, using generalized functions (distributions). This derivation verifies that the GSTCs are valid for metasurfaces in non-homogeneous environments, such as for practical metasurfaces fabricated on a substrate. The inclusion of quadrupoles and modeling of spatial dispersion provides additional hyper-susceptibility components which serve as degrees of freedom for wave transformations. We leverage them to demonstrate a generalized Brewster effect with multiple angles of incidence at which reflection is suppressed, along with an "anti-Brewster" effect where transmission is suppressed.& COPY; 2023 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement
