Suggestion:
Have a look at the 'modules' file.

Yes, it is possible to create a module with your common files and 
'mount' that module as part of another module. I suppose for your 
example, the modules file should have the following entries:

publicHTML      -d public_html   public_html &common
project_root    -d project_root  project_root &publicHTML

where 'common' is the module containing the common files, public_html 
contains the files that are in that directory without the common files, 
and project_root contains all files except public_html (and therefore 
common is also excluded).
Note that common, public_html and project_root are separate modules.

For further information, have a look at the "modules" file section in 
the manual (look for so called ampersand modules).
You may want to try modules2, it is more flexible, but it may not work 
in every case.

Best regards
	Andreas
