Very true. 

Of course it could work with include-directories, IF wget was changed 
to add some smart "thinking", i.e. no-parents is really a cutting 
point. So include-directories below has normal meaning (currently), 
but above not (it is simply ignored), because nothing above is 
reachable, so any include-directory is wasted in conjuction with 
no-parents. Smart thinking here is -- those options were set for 
purpose by user, so user really meant "don't ascend parents except 
for those defined in include-directories."

Kind regards,
