You have to get the element (like an IResource or IJavaElement) and then
use that API to find its parent (some of the IJavaElements can be
adapted to an IResource)

I know how to get parent for subitem "Include" for C/C++ project; for
example, I will know how to get parent for Java Package... But if it will
be something else??? Aren't there some universal, common method, like to
get parent for subitem of WinAPI window "TREE_VIEW" - only for Linux?

If you have a TreeViewer, you can get the parent by calling
ITreeContentProvider.getParent() method.
