No. But you do have to get the coding correct to include files from other
directories.

Can you show me:
1) the URL of a page where the SSI isn't working
2) the SSI code which you have on that page
3) the URL of the text which should have been included?

Using your Betton page as an example, the three pieces of information would be

1) http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~betton/Betton/index.htm
2) <.!--#include file=border.txt" -->
3) http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~betton/Betton/border.txt
