That means I want to call the file with x.text or x.html from the same location on the server for use on differents virtual hosts on the same server, with use of SSI. The server is operated by me, so root access is ok. This is to save work with editing/uploading only one file contains the same text for several domains(VH).

Roger, the way I do this is with filesystem links.
In all Unixes (including Linux) one file can have
two or more names.  For example, to give your
x.html file a second name (x.text) you could use
a "hard" link which you'd create by typing:

        ln x.html x.text

If the two files reside in different filesystems,
you must use a "symbolic" link instead of a
"hard" one, which you'd create thusly:

        ln -s /filesystem1/somepath/x.html /filesystem2/anotherpath/x.text
