So if you want access to both the include’s item and the current task’s item you should use set_fact to create a alias to the outer one.:

- include_tasks: test.yml
  with_items:
    - 1
    - 2
    - 3

in test.yml:

- set_fact: outer_loop="{{item}}"
- debug: msg="outer item={{outer_loop}} inner item={{item}}"
  with_items:
    - a
    - b
    - c
