Description
The reason for adding a C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.include setting is when you have
parentFolder
- lots of child folders to be excluded
- one folder (or a smaller number) that is desired to not be excluded
That scenario is more work to deal with without some sort of "include" setting. Particularly, when a new child folder is added, then it may have to be added to C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.exclude .

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the existing C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.exclude setting is defined and applied in the extension. Determine the intended precedence and behavior for a new C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.include setting, then verify that the requested parent-folder scenario works without requiring every newly added child folder to be listed.
