ASP.NET has more sophisticate solution for your need than include statement. For instance You can't do dynamic include in classic ASP. In ASP.NET you use user control and placeholder accomplish the same thing even more.
For example: user this code at the place you normally place include statement:
<asp:placeholder id="header" Runat="server"></asp:placeholder>
at the code behind. use something like this:
Dim SCH As HeaderSC = CType(Page.LoadControl("HeaderSC.ascx"), HeaderSC)
header.Controls.Add(SCH)
Copy the code from your include file and paste it to the match *.ascx control.
Hope this help
