"Still/ others (S)/ continued (V) / their practices of child labor (O) / though the use of various looholes (AdP) / including by claiming that children working more than the legal number of hours were doing it voluntaruly.
The above sentence is from the book I study. I have to analyse the sentence for my studetns but I have no idea how the underlined phrase is composed. It might be a advervial phrase. But I wonder how a prepositional phrase 'by claiming' follow another preposition 'including' here.
Many thanks teachers.
