You meant test.shtml, right?

How do you request (not "run") the file? What is the URL?

What is the contents of the file? Do you get the <!-- #include ... -->
still in the file? If that's the case, then either the SSI filter isn't
running at all, or your syntax is incorrect. I'm not sure how picky the
SSI parser is, but it appears that you have this:

<!-- #include file="/inc.html" -->

and the parser is looking for this:

<!--#include file="/inc.html" -->

Also, the (Apache httpd) documentation for #include /file/ is to a
relative path /on the disk/ which would suggest that /inc.html would
have to be put into your server's root directory. Probably not a good
idea. Instead, try using /virtual/ like this:

<!--#include virtual="inc.html" -->

This is also a relative path, but it's relative to the current URL, so
if you request http://host/app/test.shtml, it will include
http://host/app/inc.html

No. You must choose between the "filter" and the "servlet"
implementations. Actually, I don't see why you couldn't use both
simultaneously, but they recommend against using both.

You might need to get someone else to configure this for you, then.

For now, set the regular expression to ".*" (without quotes, of course).
