I don't understand your problem.

Let's say your local machine path the the file is
/var/http/clients/client1/utility/top.php

So, just have a virtual host on your local machine which points to
/var/http/clients/client1. Another virtual host will point at a
different directory.

I have about a dozen different virtual hosts on my development machine
right now, each pointing to a different directory. And the files on
every one have the same path relative to their document root that the
specific client has.
