Main config file - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_access.html#deny

 

<Directory /full...path..../includes>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Directory>

 

But the "Location" directive would probably be a far better bet...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#location

 

<Location /includes>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Location>

 

You can also use .htaccess files if you don't have access to the main server config file
