Include? - permissions query

Hello everyone...

I've been developing a simple SQL database accessed using PHP. My problem is that I need to prevent users accessing particular files (.htm and .swf) directly using a browser. To this end, I have used an INCLUDE command to call the relevant file(s) from inside the PHP. However, no matter what way I try to set-up the access permissions on the directories involved, I am left with either a totally non-secure directory, or one that I can neither view by browser or via PHP. Can anyone offer any help on this subject? I'm tearing my hair out!
Thanks all,

Can't you put the .htm and .swf files into a non-accessible directory (above your wwwroot or something), and then include them into your php files?
