Remove those files from the Root folder. and place them in a folder not accessible to the user.
index.php stays in the root.
example: html is the root folder accessed by http://example.com
/var/www/html/index.php
and the other files go in a seperate directory not accessible through the url.
Example:
/var/www/includes/user.php
/var/www/includes/header.php
...
you can access those files with the include going back one directory. Example
index.php
<?php
include '../includes/users.php';
?>
This will make your website more secure.
