Storing files outside web root is always the recommended solution I
think. But that is not always allowed. In such a case (and assuming your
webserver is Apache), a folder containing includes you want to keep
secret can be protected with an .htaccess file like so:

<files "*.*">
deny from all
</files>

Which bans Apache from serving any files from that folder, but livecode
should still be able to access the contents.
