How do I set the correct path when using include function

I am making a template for other pages to use. The source files that contains the include command are on different levels of directory. For example...

templates are help in: 

/template/

pages are located in: 

/services/

and:

/services/products/

and:

/services/products/dishwasher

So the statement I wrote was: 

include (__DIR__ . "/../template/header.php");

I am testing locally is this an issue?

This only allows for /services/ to include the requested file, the lower sub domains do not get it. I also have the problem for pictures and css js files. Is there a work around?

You can call an include file on any page, at any level in the hierarchy, with something like this:

<?php include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/template/header.php"; ?>

… where /template/header.php is the full path from the root folder to your header.php file.
