What to do if host wont allow "Enable Parent Paths"?

Question

Apart from moving host! :o)
We just moved a site to WebFusion who don't have "Enable
Parent Paths"
enabled in the IIS on their Windows servers, nor will they
allow it.
Therefore, all of the include file references on the site, to
files that are
in a different directory:
Connections/connNAME.asp
...aren't working, producing the following error:
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005'
Disallowed Path Characters
/index.asp, line 2
The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for
the MapPath
method.
Line 2 is:
<!--#include file="../connNAME.asp" -->
Is there a workaround? WebFusion mentioned something about
Server.MapPath("..") but I'm not sure how to replace my
Include file with
this?
My major issue is that we have InterAkt extensions on the
site and these use
extensive reference to include files in a parent directories
so WebFusion
has rendered the InterAkt extensions useless because of the
refusal to allow
"Enable Parent Paths".
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Nath.

Change the above (assuming connNAME.asp is in the root
directory) to:
<!--#include virtual="/connNAME.asp" -->
If the file is not in the root directory, adjust as
necessary.
