I figured this out.  The 'Satisfy' directive applied to the 1 file I  
wanted to open up was what I needed.  In case anyone has similar  
issues, here's what I did...

# main config very restrictive
<Directory /var/www/restricted>
   SSLRequireSSL
   AuthName "Restricted"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
   AuthGroupFile /dev/null
   Require user Restricted
</Directory>

# relaxed for 1 script
<Files /var/www/restricted/open.php>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from all
   Satisfy Any
</Files>

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah!
