absolute path to file in classic asp using

how to use absolute paths with classic asp? at the moment the whole application has the following includes of files:

<!--#include file="../../../../../something.asp"-->

It doesn't work if I do a absolute call to the asp file like:

<!--#include file="/root/foobar/something.asp"-->

Someone knows a trick to let it work?

Use virtual paths, which are based off the website root:

<!--#include virtual="/something.asp"-->

The first example will work if the site settings are changed in IIS to "Allow parent paths".

The second sample is not acceptible, at least not on Windows servers.
