Make sure that in the <Directory {dir_you_want__tosupport_includes}>
</Directory> you have the folling line:
Options Includes <other_options>
Example:
This would allow SSI to run from the root level (and all sub-dirs) of your
Web space (among other things):
<Directory />
Options Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
Beware though, like many things, SSI can be a nasty security hole,
expecially the EXEC command (I guess following symbolic links can be as
well). You might want to turn EXEC off for some directories (like user
space) with the IncludesNOEXEC option.
Check out the Apache manual for more on Options:

Cheers,
