Create Replica Question

When creating a replica through the REST API, is it possible to return all records from a table, but without bringing all of the related records with it? A simplified example of my issue is like this:

I have three tables: BUILDING, BUILDING_INSPECTION, and INSPECTOR. BUILDING_INSPECTION has a 1:M relationship with BUILDING and INSPECTOR has a M:1 relationship with BUILDING_INSPECTION.

I want to create a replica of the data based on an envelope that contains a subset of the BUILDING records. Obviously, I only want the BUILDING_INSPECTION records related to the BUILDING records in the specified envelope, so the queryOptions for these layers are like this:

BUILDING :

Query Option: useFilter

useGeometry: true

includeRelated: (ignored since queryOption is useFilter)

BUILDING_INSPECTION :

Query Option: none

useGeometry: false

includeRelated: true

This works fine except, I want to bring down all of the INSPECTOR records also. Therefore, the queryOptions for INSPECTOR need to look like this:

INSPECTOR :

Query Option: all

useGeometry: false

includeRelated: (ignored since queryOption is all)

Now, I get all of the INSPECTOR records in the replica, but also unintentionally get all of the BUILDING_INSPECTION records that are related to the INSPECTOR records (which ends up being all of the inspections). Furthermore, since the additional BUILDING_INSPECTION records are related to other BUILDING records, I end up unintentionally retrieving all BUILDING records that have an inspection. The issue is that I can't change the query option of BUILDING_INSPECTION to not include related records, because I need the BUILDING_INSPECTION records related to the BUILDING records in the specified envelope.

The way that I understand the createReplica REST endpoint is that there is no way to choose a specific relationship to acknowledge while ignoring all others. Is there something that I am missing here?

P.S. the versions of ArcGIS Server this has been tested on is 10.2.2

I'm having this issue also. I think the IncludeRelated should not be a boolean, but an enum that defines how to get the related records (like IncludedChildren, IncludeParents, IncludeAll). I'd like to get an official answer from ESRI how they are going to address this issue.
