I can reopen (accidentally) closed tabs using CtrlShiftT. However this doesn't seem to work in an "Incognito" window.
CtrlShiftT works on FireFox's Private Browsing. How can we enable CtrlShiftT for incognito browsing in Chrome?

I don't think you can, or even should be able to restore closed tabs in incognito.
Think about it for a second. By switching to incognito mode, you're asking your browser to not follow you around and not keep local data, and a second later you're asking for a closed tab? Kinda beats the purpose, no?
If you must have this functionality (again, beats the purpose of incognito imho), you can use a session manager (like Session Buddy) and mark it OK to run in incognito.
As Sexy undo close tab has been removed from Chrome web store, you can try
Simple Undo Close, which is fork of the Sexy Undo Close Tab extension.
Also take a look at Simple Undo Recents.
This extension (tab-restore) do the trick. you have to enable it of course in incognito tabs, from the Extensions page. Then you can reopen closed tabs in incognito mode.
Cookies won't be stored in Incognito mode. Therefore, your purpose of sharing/storing different cookies(you wrote so in comment to 'Traveling Tech Guy') won't work in Incognito. I guess you are looking at something like accessing different online accounts(facebook, yahoo mail) in two windows. If that is the case you can easily do it with two different browsers, say Firefox and chrome. I do the same when I have to access different accounts with same service provider. In Gmail you can directly sign in to another account in same browser.
As this post on the Chrome help forum notes, Incognito mode specifically doesn't remember your history, so there's no way for it reopen what it doesn't remember.
You can either temporarily save a live session with “Off The Record History” but it will be lost when you crash or if you reboot.
Alternatively, you can permanently store all of your session windows INCLUDING the incognito ones using “Session Manager”. However SM saves incognito windows as normal ones.
So, then you can use “Session Buddy” to automatically save sessions periodically but you can also manually save a session and give it a name. SB too saves all tabs as normal ones, but you can convert any group of tabs (window) to incognito while in the SB window and save that.
The only feature SB and SM don’t have is a memory of the history of each tab, so if you crash you can only start from the last iteration of each tab … but hey, that’s still something, right?
You can always refer to your browser’s “History” function, but it won’t exist for the incognito tabs. However, that’s better than losing it all, isn’t it?
Reopen-Tabs is an extension that works inside of chrome. Just enable it inside of the extensions
