I'm not sure if you can do this in an htaccess, but it's probably worth a try. You can protect the included files from web browsing in any number of standard ways, like a <Files> or <FilesMatch> tag. If you have access to your server config file, search through it to see how it prevents the server from serving up the .htaccess files. I can't remember off hand exactly what it uses, probably Deny from all and an Order directive.
