(some of the) possibilities:
1. Put in in a direcory that _is_ accessable through the webserver, and
turn of PHP parsing for that directory, or give at an extention not
recognized as php (as you have to include the code, not the output) (Not
recommended: unnecessary overhead & possible security risk, as your code
is exposed).
2. Create a script on the server in an accessable directory that fetches
the source of the script and passes it on (using file_get_contents). (Same
security & overhead drawback as (1)).
3. Create an SMB share, mount it & link to it in the script.(cumbersome,
but could work)
4. Create a copy on the other server, and keep them in sync using stuff
like CVS/SVN, possibly even rsync, maybe schedule syncing). (preferred,
would be the fastest & safest with less overhead)
5. Put an FTP server up, fetch the file & parse it (again, unneccesary
overhead).
6. I'm sure there are lots of other ways....
I'd go for (4) anytime.
