"Including" is never a preposition. Prepositions are relational words like of, in, by, around, etc. Like most -ing words, it is typically a present participle. Some -ing words can also be gerunds (nouns), but that doesn't work here.
I'm curious what issue you're seeing, though, since no one mentioned participles in their explanation. Is there a usage that's bothering you?
Hi DmitryFarber,
Is there a reason you prefer to analyse including as a present participle rather than as a preposition? I would think that the use of including as a present participle is extremely limited compared to its use as a preposition.
