Perhaps if you do:

<?php require 'http://example.com/yourfile_withssi.shtml';?>

It will chew up an extra HTTP connection on each require, but it should work.

You'd be better off in the long run to re-code your SSI as PHP. There
usually isn't anything that tricky in SSI that you can't do in PHP in
minutes of re-coding...
