I’d recommend symbolic links over aliases, as the former is a file 
system feature, so supported by everything, where the latter makes the 
application layer responsible for properly resolving them, so not all 
code will do the right thing.

A symbolic link can be created from terminal by changing to your project 
directory then running:

     ln -s /path/to/file

This will create a symbolic link named ‘file’ in the current folder. 
In general though you probably want to make the symbolic links relative.

TextMate’s file browser can also create symbolic links via 
drag’n’drop and holding down control, but these are always made 
absolute (though I’ll probably change that).
