This is not the correct syntax for a "virtual" include.  The file referenced
should be relative to the public www root.  i.e.:

Full URL: http://www.domain.com/dir/subdir/file.txt

The include would be:

<!--#include virtual="/dir/subdir/file.txt" -->

> <!--#include file="/home/sites/site14/web/inc/head.ihtml" -->

The above syntax looks correct.  If you type "ls
/home/sites/site14/web/inc/head.ihtml" from a shell, see what happens.  It
may be that you have an invalid path.  What error message(s) is/are written
to the browser and/or error log?

See above (#include virtual).

You *should* be able to use full paths with the "#include file" directive.
Again, make sure your paths are valid.
