Hi Grant, >Is there a rule I can apply to figure out the proper order for includes >and excludes? Rules are evaluated in the order they are defined. The first rule with a pattern that that matches is the rule that applies. If you are a C programmer, think of it as the standard shortcut logical or (i.e. ||). Evaluation stops at the pattern that evaluates to true. If you really want to use rsync effectively, it will be worthwhile to fully understand the "FILTER RULES" and "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" sections of the man page. The answers to your questions are there, but there's enough content that it can take a could of reads to get a feel for the developers way of thinking.
