I'm not too familiar with InDesign, but I have a friend who can't open a .indd file from InDesign CS 2 in her version (2.0.2) of InDesign. An error message pops up telling her that she has to update her plugins and InDesign.
InDesign CS2 doesn't have an option to save or export to older versions of InDesign. Was Adobe stupid enough not to put backwards compatibility into ID CS2 or is there a way to make .indd files compatible with older (pre-CS) versions?

Adobe just didn't make it easy. At work I had the same problem...someone had to work in an older version of InDesign on Windows, where I was using CS2 on a PowerMac.
Anyway, if you are able to open the file in CS2 InDesign, just EXPORT it as an InDesign Exchange file and it'll open up just fine in 2.2.

There is no "Exchange" export format in CS2 that I can find. There is an InDesign Interchange format, but that didn't work. My client can't open the .inx files it generates.
According to this Adobe support doc, CS2 isn't compatible with versions older than CS.

I thought the INX format only worked for opening them in indesign CS1, not any pre-creative suite indesigns.
If you do need to open an INX file in CS1 however, you neeed to install a plug-in availble from Adobe. Have a look in the CS2 help files for the location.
on the other hand I just read that INX is a type of XML so it could be more flexible than I thought.

Even with CS1 the INX file doesn't work all the time. I have both installed to convert CS2 files for the rest of the people at work running CS1. About 1/3 of the INX files will crash CS1. Have to turn off color management, trash certain preference files and try again.
so yes, Adobe was stupid enough to kill compatibility in InDesign.

IMHO, Adobe releases software too fast.
- InDesign 2.0 shipped in January, 2002
- InDesign CS shipped in October, 2003
- InDesign CS2 shipped in May, 2005
Basically, every 19 months, you should expect to update.
