Try referencing the page using an absolute path in the include

<!--#include virtual="/SSI/footer.asp"-->

It may be looking for the file at 
/newsitetesting/Parents/SSI/footer.asp. It will also eliminate the need 
to change the include file based on where the calling page is located 
in your site.
