Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Unfortunately, I'm up against a
couple of major hurdles:
1. My host does not allow command line access and has disabled shell
execution of PHP;
2. Error reporting has been turned off and I can't seem to turn that on
with ini_set or error_reporting (which is fun when I have minor syntax
errors to fix); and
which ini setting? if you want to see your errors in the browser you need
display_errors set to On. error_reporting only sets the level of reporting.
3. My host is also stuck in PHP 4.3, so the check_syntax function isn't
available to me either (although I understand that this function has been
deprecated in the most recent builds of PHP).
make your host your ex-host.
At this point, I'll just use file_exists and is_readable for some basic
checking, and hope that the included files have no syntax errors.
it seems madness that you don't seem to test code before incorporating it
into a production system. at the very least anything you put on a website should
parse properly.
have you considered installing a local copy of php (and suitable webserver)
so you can test it there?

As far as I know, the only way to do that is via the CLI (or
accessing the include file directly in the browser).
Make sure that error_reporting is enabled and that it's set to
report E_ALL if you want to really be sure your code is clean (i.e. -
reporting unused, undefined, and uninstantiated variables, et cetera).
Then, if done from a *nix command line, just type:
php -l /path/to/include/file.php
