Comment (by nacin):

 You should be able to properly detect this already, without any help from
 WordPress.

 In your Parent theme, you need to include Root, but *only* when the parent
 theme is being used as a child theme.

 `if ( STYLESHEETPATH == dirname( __FILE__ ) )` in the parent theme's
 functions.php. If that returns true, it's being used as a child theme.
 False, being used as a parent theme.

 Can also do: `if ( get_stylesheet() == 'parent_theme_name' )` -- serves
 the same purpose.

 Point is, you can do all of these checks. You don't need to blindly
 include files. WordPress doesn't need to change for what you're trying to
 do.
