How to get parent element inside ng-include when iterating in ng-repeat recursively

I made a recursive ng-repeat element, and trying to manipulate things has turned into a nightmare, because I don't have reference to the parent I'm iterating over.

The ng-repeat looks like this:

ng-repeat="(key, value) in value"

Remember It's recursive, so each value in value becomes the new value, so I can't just use the "in" value from ng-repeat. I want to do such things as checking if the parent is an array, but $parent is some weird thing, not the parent element of the current iteration value.

Some examples of things I want to do is:

ng-show="isArray(parent)"
ng-click="delete(parent, $index)"

(as an example of what I'm doing as a work around, I've had to add an ___ISARRAYELEMENT___ property to each of my array elements, just to know that it's in an array >.>;;)

EDIT: Basically I want to know if there is any convenient meta data in an ng-repeat context that I'm missing.

EDIT: Ok here is the html in it's entirety:

<html ng-app>
<head>
    <title>JSON CRUD</title>
    <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.6/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="angularjsoncrud.js"></script>
    <script type="text/ng-template" id="node.html">
        <button ng-click="minimized = !minimized" ng-show="!isLeaf(value)" ng-init="minimized=false" ng-class="{'glyphicon glyphicon-plus': minimized, 'glyphicon glyphicon-minus': !minimized}">-</button>
        <input ng-model="value.___KEY___" ng-if="!isArrayElement(value)" />
        <input ng-if="isLeaf(value)" ng-model="value.___VALUE___" />
        <ul ng-if="!isLeaf(value)" ng-show="!minimized">
            <li ng-repeat="(key,value) in value" ng-if="key != '___KEY___' && key != '___ISARRAY___'" ng-include="'node.html'"></li>
            <button type="button" ng-if="isArray(value)" ng-click="addToArray(value)">Add Element</button>
        </ul>
    </script>
</head>
<body ng-app="Application" ng-controller="jsoncrudctrl">
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="(key,value) in json" ng-include="'node.html'"></li>
    </ul>
    <pre>{{stringify(json)}}</pre>
</body>
</html>

One thing I would like to do is replace isArrayElement(value) with isArray(parent), because isArrayElement relies on meta data I added to the array, which I would prefer to not have to add.
