Matt,
you know what, my include files are actually inside the web root, just different for different domains that are aliased to the same web root.
I did have a need to specify the path into a script-aliased cgi-bin directory (to select the search index on a per domain basis), and for that, the $org_path variable works. (This requires absolutepathprefix= [NULL])
I tried including a file from outside my root, without success.
I now seem to recall asking for an ALIAS configuration variable, similar to the Apache Alias directive, to appear in the Application and domain scope so include files could be managed independently of the application files.
Sorry for the mis-info earlier.

Bill,
Does your org_path and org_include variables point to a directory *outside* the document root of the server? It shouldn't matter if I don't user domain variables and just type the full path, right?
I am unable to include a file outside the web server document root even
after changing my httpd.conf file so it does not use VHosts and including
"c:/inc/head.tml" (a two-line <html><body> header and path/file that
doesn't necessitate the Window ~' junk). This does makes sense to me, and
works in accordance with the Meta Tag help description of <@include> :
"The FILE attribute is a slash-separated path from the Web server root."
I guess what I'm getting at is Apache does permit you to setup an Alias or
ScriptAlias so that you may access files (cgi-bin, etc) outside the Server
or Virtual Host Document root. At the point the @include tag is being
interpreted by WAS though, the file path in the <@include file= appears to
be pulled from a "slash-separated path from the Web server root". I'd
really like to find a way to allow multiple Apache Virtual Hosts to all
pull files from a common directory in the "default virtual host" (main)
web server root.
Have you really included files using a "C:\" path to a file in the @INCLUDE FILE=. If so, I'm doing something very wrong.
Thanks for the help. - Matt

The witango include<@include file="/sharedfiles/ocmFooter.tml">is an absolute reference, so the path is wrong.
I usually set up a domain variable with an absolute path prefix for my includes a la:
<@INCLUDE FILE="@@domain$org_path/@@domain$org_includes/admin_index.html">
where: @@domain$org_path="C:/Progra~1/Apache~1/Apache2/htdocs" @@domain$org_includes="ocm_includes"
