So the error that's arising from
     <!--#include virtual="/some.html" -->
is the following:
     [date][error[client IP] unable to include "/some.html" in parsed
file a.shtml, referer: URL
Again please note this include statement works fine until this [sub]
directory is password protected.

As you're able to make this work at your end I'm thinking either the
commercial server is configured in a way I don't understand, or I'm
overlooking something obvious...
