For a recipe script in the cookbook/ directory of the home wiki you will use

   include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/scriptname.php");

For a local (that is, specific to one wiki only) version of a script, use

   include_once("cookbook/scriptname.php");

No.  That's one of the main features ("upgrading one upgrades them
all").  The distributed pages and scripts belong only in the home
wiki.  Any other wiki only needs two directories and two scripts[2,3]:

   wiki-two/
   |-- index.php
   |-- local/
   |   `-- config.php
   `-- wiki.d/
