Thanks.  But... I screwed up one part.

I said this was right :

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

But this doesn't work.  It doesn't cause an error, but it also  
doesn't do what you think it's going to. <Files> blocks don't care  
about paths.  The just look for file names.  So, the thing above  
would only allow access to a file literally named '/var/www/ 
restricted/open.php'  (the slashes aren't interpreted as directory  
separators).

The right way to do what I wanted is this :

<Directory /var/www/restricted>
   <Files open.php>
     Order Deny,Allow
     Allow From all
     Satisfy Any
   </Files>
</Directory>

OK, that's all for now.  Micah, thanks for your help.  Everyone else,  
thanks for letting me spam the list. :)
