On your "DEV" machine create a file called const_path.php (or something
like that) on a fixed location.
Similar to your "DEPLOYMENT" machine,
create another file (with same name, with same location relative to
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
On that file, you define your path constants.
On your "DEV" machine.... it will be: define('CONST_PATH_UTILITY',
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/utility');
On your "DEPLOYMENT" machine ... define('CONST_PATH_UTILITY',
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/clients/client1/utility');
On your page, you need to include the file:
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/const_path.php');
Then you include your utility file:
require_once(CONST_PATH_UTILITY . '/top.php');
Make sure you don't overwrite the two different const_path.php between
"DEV" and "DEPLOYMENT" server
--- OR ---
you can always use relative path :)
