As long as your headers/footers are static, you could define them as constants, include just the script that defines the constants, and do a print(SOME_FOOTER_NAME); where you want them to appear.

Hmmmmmm........ Sounds like a good idea, but we've got quite a few includes in our site, not to mention variable image paths (i.e. images/headers, images/groups, etc.) Seems like a lot of work to create & maintain this config file + load the references on each page. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I wonder if there is isn't a more direct way to modularize a site? I'll check out your idea in any case as I haven't come up with a better solution myself.
