Assuming you are talking about files in a same source directory, you
can do:

   - generate a file (KEEP_FILE) with the list of files you want
   - call: rsync ... --include-from KEEP_FILE \
     	     --delete --delete-excluded \
     	     SOURCE_DIR/ DESTINATION_DIR

KEEP_FILE should have the format:

+ /keep1/***
+ /keep2/***
...
- *

leading / to match only at the first level

/*** to match any level of sub-directory (if keep1 ... are
directories)
