If the path to script you're using include() in is:
/opt2/home3/rd6714/public_html/articles_2005/1_subhead.php
...and assuming your header.php is:
/opt2/home3/rd6714/public_html/inserts/header.php
...then your include statement in 1_subhead.php could functionally be:

<?php include('../inserts/header.php'); ?>
OR
<?php include '/opt2/home3/rd6714/public_html/inserts/header.php'; ?>
(with or without parentheses, to taste).

If that doesn't work, you might double-check that your include_path ini 
setting includes your account's path somewhere, and adjust as 
necessary/possible.  cf:
