No -- the include-from option just FILTERS the source. The source is
the first arg (non-option) on the command-line, which, when combined
with an include file, is usually just a single directory (and often has
a trailing slash). The destination is the last arg on the command-line.
It's right there in the man page or in the "rsync --help" output:
rsync [-OPTIONS] [--OPTION=VALUE] SOURCE DESTINATION
