usr
| - www
     |- docs
        |- A
     |- webroot
        |- index.php

Just use "normal" file paths. E.g. to access A in the docs folder from index.php, you can use relative paths like ../docs/A or absolute paths like /usr/www/docs/A.

The "webroot" directory only marks the entry point for URLs. This has no effect on PHP files. They are just normal files in a filesystem and can therefore access other files in the system via ordinary file paths.
