#include and <script runat="server"> - ASP / Active Server Pages

Michael

There seem to be two ways to include files on the server:
1. 
2. <script language="VBScript" runat="server" src="header.inc"></script>

What are the differences between the two, and when to use one instead of the
other?

Thanks.

1) is included PRIOR to the server parsing the page.
2) is done AFTER

So option 2 will have to contain only scripts, no HTML; except if used like
Response.Write("<div>")?

Also, with number 2, can you use <% %> tags within the file? I don't think you can, but I may be wrong.

IIRC you can use <% %> but this script page is independant of the original
since the client is requesting it, not the server
