You can't do that using permissions. In both cases server will read file.

You have to put this file in public parent directory (eg. in directory where is your public_html). This way you'll be still able to include it but noone can read it using browser.

Second option is to set correct .htaccess file to deny all users (it'll still allow you to read it from scripts), eg. like this:

order deny,allow
deny from all
