Basically I just want something like an include control that I can put into the head and also something that could be nested(optional). I want to put the links to the css and js files in there so I have them all in one place. NO MASTERPAGES - I am trying to(read have to) avoid them for this project.

That being said I have successfully used user controls for that purpose with no problems. However, I wanted to check with .NET pros here and see if there is something else that would work better.
