You want includes and excludes in separate files?  I'm not sure you'd
really want that, since the order of include and exclude patterns make a
difference.  See the pattern documentation for more about this.  In any
case, --patterns-from lets you put them both in the same file, and you
could put them in in different "sections" if the file, if that's what you
really want.

With --patterns-from, you specify the root (or multiple roots) in the
pattern file using the 'R' prefix.  No need to put a root on the command
line.
