Quick answer
Gaddi represents Manasseh, listed under Joseph. Joseph's line is counted through his son's tribe.
Overview
The spy from Manasseh, reckoned as part of Joseph, is named. Since Joseph's inheritance came through Ephraim and Manasseh, both appear in the list, keeping the full count of twelve. The notation reflects the way Joseph's double portion was distributed among his sons.
