You can do this with a script. But this will be slow [tm].
Alternatively you can define a name in the URL for this,

say my_standard_header and use Rewrite tricks to descend
from actual position to the first file in available
in the filesystem. Dont know if this is almost as slow
as starting a script every time.

Alternatively you can assemble your "static" pages
with help of a script or bigger CMS
