get_associations method of BIDSFile has issue with inheritance
My test case with an event file with a json sidecar in same directory as well as another applicable sidecar at top level has get.associations only returning top level side car instead of both.  Here is the code, I have attached the test BIDS dataset:

 ```
   pennies = BIDSLayout(pennies_dir)
   pennies_events = pennies.get(suffix='events', extension='tsv')
   pennies_dicts = pennies.get(suffix='events', extension='json')
   for file in pennies_events:
        associations = file.get_associations(include_parents=True)
        print(associations)
```
