Reasonably, if you have 360 vision and double jointed limbs or something, you could parry behind you, and if you are enormous and got a reach of 2 you could block for allies in front, but the book says no such thing explicitly.
I got this after exchanging emails with kromm, and by interpreting literaly what front and side hexes mean as according to basic set.

Also, you can parry behind you in several circunstances even without the advantages you cited, you just get a -4.

Edit: I think they were PMs, not emails. Its been a while, have been using email since I realized I had to delete many of them to open space, and I made the mistake of not saving, so they might have been lost.
