require '../../include/session.php';

You should define a base dir constant in a bootstrap type file...

// If >= PHP 5.3
define('BASE_DIR', __DIR__);

// Otherwise
define('BASE_DIR', realpath(dirname(__FILE__)));

And include files like so...

include BASE_DIR . 'admin/new.php';

This is handy, so you shouldn't have to traverse up directories - just supply paths relative to that constant.

If you insist, you should be able to include that session.php with

require '/public_html/v3/include/session.php';
// or
require '../../include/session.php';
