You can't do this for individual files. You can use "externals"
definitions (look up svn:externals in the book) to have one folder
always pull in folders from another location (even another repository).
In that case you probably still would want to create a "common"
location, and have the projects that use it define that "common" folder
as an external.

The only version control system I know of which supports what you're
talking about is Visual SourceSafe's "Links", but I would argue this is
a dangerous feature to use. I know it has created much confusion for my
team at work.
In 1.1, you can version symlinks if you're using a Unix-type system, but
I doubt that is really what you're looking for. They're filesystem
symlinks, not symlinks within the repository itself.
