Is there any reason for siblings/parents/grandparents of a previously tested person to get a DNA test?

If you mean autosomal DNA testing YES...by all means. The more close relatives tested the better you are able to phase the data to determine whether matches are maternal or paternal ... much easier to piece together your genetic tree that way. Siblings only inherit 50% from mom and 50% from dad and they may get very different halves --- which in turn helps to build the WHOLE picture. Also, if there are any family secrets such as non-paternity events or unknown adoptions they will come out via having the entire family DNA tested.
