I put included files (especially ones with passwords, configuration
info, etc.) outside of the website's root directory. That way it cannot
be downloaded, even if there is a glitch in the web server. I also
don't have a special directory just for secure pages. I do, typically,
have at least one images directory (more if there are lots of images, of
which some are special purpose.
And I keep backups off site.
Other than that, it's whatever works for you. But I try to keep the
directories related to the web structure, i.e. if I have a general
products page which links to "doodads", "gadgets" and "widgets", each of
which links to more pages, I might have something like (assuming
products is in the root) /doodads, /gadgets and /widgets.
