Write the links in the include relative to the top of the site:

  <ul>
  <li><a href="/catalog/">Our catalog</a></li>
  <li><a href="/catalog/tips">Catalog search tips</a></li>
  <li><a href="/e-resources/journals/alpha.html">Our
    e-journals, by title</a></li>
  <li><a href="/e-resources/journals/subject.html">Our
    e-journals, by subject</a></li>...
