I also have this in my httpd.conf:

AddInputFilter INCLUDES .shtml

I had to add an input filter as well to get something that I was doing 
to work properly. I forget now exactly what.

The above works with Apache 2.0.x, but not 1.3.x. It looks like your 
config is for 1.3.x.

Generally, one uses either XBitHack or the AddType/AddHandler pair.

You do have mod_includes in the httpd, either compiled in or loading 
dynamically? I believe it comes with a vanilla Apache configuration, but 
I don't know if RH 9.0 includes it in the RPM or not. IIRC, there were 
often separate RPMs for some of the apache modules. You can run httpd -l 
to see what modules are compiled into your server. If mod_includes isn't 
one of them, then you'll need to see that it's in your libexec directory 
  and add the appropriate lines to httpd.conf to load it.
