Hi thanks Haim, That was what I thought too. But I don't know the absolute pathnames. GoDaddy had this to say:
Upon review of your account it appears that you do not have a dedicated IP address for your site; therefore you will most likely not want to use the IP address, but instead reference the full URL http://dummipedia.com/commonmw140.
If you require an IP address and cannot use a URL, a dedicated IP address can be added to your hosting account. To add a dedicated IP to your shared hosting account:
1. Purchase a Dedicated IP credit from our website. 2. Log in to your Account Managerhttp://mya.godaddy.com/default.aspx?prog_id=GoDaddy . 3. In the My Products section, select *Hosting*. 4. Click the applicable hosting account. 5. In the Hosting Account Details section on the right, click *Apply Dedicated IP Address*.

I've never used GoDaddy, but from your message it sounds like you have a shell account where you can get to all the directories of your different sites. Or at least you know what their absolute pathnames are.
Since the LocalSettings.php files are just PHP code, how about just using the PHP include command to include the common file?
