Hi Everyone ,
Can anyone assist me to clarify the difference or what to look out for in following scenario ?
- someone found something, which includes some items that ....
vs
- someone found something, including some items that ...
Can't see any other differences other than "which includes" and "including".
So wondering how do you know which option to choose ?
Thanks in advanced.

Hello there,
First, a disclaimer, I am not an expert - I've just started my gmat journey.
Onto the question, I don't think there is a remarkable difference between the two options, and if I had seen it on a question I would look for some other mistake to focus on.
Now lets analyze the following example (made up):
Playing Video games, which include FIFA and Tekken, improves problem-solving skills. -> In this option the two games shown are used as an example of video games, no emphasis is necessarily placed onto them.
Playing Video games, including FIFA and Tekken, improves problem-solving skills. -> In this option its as if the 2 games were not seen in a positive light by the person to whom this message is intended - as such, the speaker had to emphasize that video games (including the 2 you don't like) help with improving something.
Maybe there will be a mistake, or a point I've overlooked, hopefully an expert is here to shine a light on either.

Hi...
Again I am not an not an expert, but just adding my 2 cents here . Totally agree with auaeca
- someone found something, which includes some items that ....
vs
- someone found something, including some items that ...
Both of them basically means the same. This should not be the basis of elimination. There will be some other error in the sentence that will help you to eliminate the option.
(As well, Including is used basically to highlight a few items that the authors feels is important according to the context and needs to be specifically mentioned. On the other hand ", which includes" just given some example without giving much emphasis on those examples - a very subtle difference, but these usually are not tested on GMAT - Experts please correct me if I am wrong)
