I want to develop a visitor tracking script but im wondering how to have the tracking work without including it on the index of the site I want to have it keep track of. How does awStats work if there isn't an include to their script on each page?

Your webserver can be configured (and usually is) to keep a log of requests that have been made (access.log). This is the best source to perform analysis on.
