I'm upgrading from a Canon T2i (550D) to a Canon 60D and already have a third-party custom focusing screen installed in the T2i. Can that screen be moved over to the 60D, or do I need to buy a separate focusing screen made for the 60D?

From what I can find, the 60D has the same focusing screen as 40D and 50D, and it looks quite different from the one in the 550D (T2i) so it's not likely that it will fit:
40D/50D custom focusing screen replacement
550D custom focusing screen replacement
According to the Canon specs, the 550D focusing screen is not replaceable, although there are third party custom replacements. The 40D/50D/60D has easily replaceable focusing screens, so there are both brand and third party custom replacements available.

Probably not. The T2i/550D focusing screen appears to be a different design from the 60D’s, and the 60D uses the same general focusing screen type as the 40D/50D. That means a custom screen made for the T2i is unlikely to fit the 60D correctly.
Also, the T2i was not designed by Canon with a user-replaceable focusing screen, while the 60D does support easily replaceable screens. So if your current screen is a third-party T2i-specific replacement, you should plan on getting a new focusing screen that is specifically made for the 60D (or compatible with the 40D/50D/60D family).
