OK, so I've worked on this for a little longer, and here is what I've found.
 You apparently cannot use php includes like the one below
 <?php include('/home/smwc/public_html/someinclude.php'); ?>
 where you include a file from the server's root path.
 You can however, use an include like the one below (which does the same thing)
 <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'someinclude.php'); ?>

 I am however, still having a problem with referencing images, stylesheets, and 
links that start at the domain's root - example --  /index.php
 Contribute still turns a link (to anything) that starts with a ' / ' into a 
relative path; resulting in ../../index.php

 I really didn't want to specify a domain for the resource, because we will 
soon be changing domain names (parallel development server) - but it looks like 
I'm going to have to anyway...

 Why can't Contribute just leave links starting with a forward slash alone!!!
