That would be based on 'realms'. see : http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#authname for more info on how to set that.
Basicaly, most browsers cache the userid and password as long as the page you are viewing is within the same realm (don't ask for userid and password again). Your solution would therefore be to define your realm as (or anything else) "mysite's protected content" in protected_files/ and then "mysite's protected content part one" in protected_files/one/ , "mysite's protected content part two" in protected_files/two/ .. within your htaccess files. As long as it's different, the browser will ask for the user name and password again.
