put:

CLIENT -a CLIENT source

into your modules file to get:

CLIENT/_website
CLIENT/_site
source/_phpscripts
source/_website

put:

_phpscripts source/_phpscripts
CLIENT CLIENT &_phpscripts

or:

clientsource -d CLIENT/_phpscripts source/_phpscripts
CLIENT -a CLIENT clientsource

into your modules file to get:

CLIENT/_phpscripts
CLIENT/_website
CLIENT/_site

You can't get files from two different repository directories into one
checked out directory.
All of this is explained, somewhat cryptically, in the manual.

Good luck,
