Your description is not entirely clear, but it sounds like you want
something like symbolic links to a single file. This is not supported
by subversion.

The nearest thing is svn:externals, but that is generally used to
reference a folder rather than a single file. File externals are
supported, but they are a bit of an afterthought and I'm not sure they
are that user-friendly.
