OK, so store it outside, let's say it's called "outside.php", and then put
your "http://www.form.com/process1.php" file where it has to be to work, and
make it a single line:

include( '../outside.php' );

(or whatever path is appropriate).

Note that this does not in any way improve your security, which I imagine is
your goal. I'm just suggesting a way to accomplish your stated objective.
