Display posts according their child

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I have a Parent and Child Post Type.
In the child Post Type I want to display all related Parent posts.
In Views Query Options there is an option to display Posts that belong to the parent, but not the opposite, Posts that "parent" a child.
What can I do?

Solution:
This is not possible.
With Views you can query any Child post of a given parent.
But you cannot display a parent according of the Current Child Post.

What you can do instead is query the Child Post and call it's parent post fields:

This can also be done in a Content Template of course.

I am trying to:

I have Post Type Person
And I have Post Type PersonInPost
so, Person is a Parent for PersonInPost
I want to show some custom designed view of Person within PersonInPost.
For this reason I create a view "PersonThmb" and what to show it inside PersonInPost view loop.
But I find no way how to set post ID in PersonThmb view to Person Post as Parent of current PersonInPost.

So, it is work for one field as

[wpv-post-url id="$person"] - it show post url from parent post

but this way doesn't work:

[wpv-view name="personthmb1" id="$person"] - this just write an error that there is no view like this ( [wpv-view name="personthmb1"] works, but with wrong result)

So, is it possible to filter view as Parent Post for particular post, but not Child Post for particular post?

Oh, ok... It could be great feature - to use Parent Views for child templates.
