Sure, but 'non-inertial observers' where not included in SRT.

IOW: there is no acceleration in SRT, but only streigth steady movement 
in a force free space.

The very word 'acceleration' was used by Einstein in 'On the 
electrodynamics of moving bodies' only in connection with the electron 
and not in any other relation.
