Consider a connected, elementary, finite dimensional tame hereditary algebra, thus a path algebra kQ, where k is a field and Q is an acyclic quiver of tame type (i.e. of Euclidean type \(\widetilde{\mathbb {A}}_{m},\widetilde{\mathbb {D}}_{m},\widetilde{\mathbb {E}}_6,\widetilde{\mathbb {E}}_7,\widetilde{\mathbb {E}}_8\) ). We prove that the factor of a Gabriel-Roiter (GR) inclusion between exceptional modules is also exceptional, unless we are in the Kronecker case (i.e. Q is the Kronecker quiver) with both modules involved in the inclusion being preprojective indecomposable. In this way we extend a result of Bo Chen in [1] valid in the cases \(\widetilde{\mathbb {A}}_m,\widetilde{\mathbb {D}}_{m}\) and for k algebraically closed.
