: Place your entire navigation inside an .inc (include file) and simply call

Better would be to create re-usable routines (or classes) to handle this for
you, rather than having inline includes. At a minimum:

<!-- #include virtual="/inc/HTML/WritePage.asp" -->
<html>
    <head>
        <% Call WriteHeader() %>
    <head>

    <body>
        <% Call WriteBody() %>
    </body>
</html>
