You might want to take a look at the ScriptManager – CompositeScript feature…
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc488552.aspx

which can be used like this:

<asp:ScriptManager runat=”server” ID=”ScriptManager1”>
<CompositeScript>
    <Scripts>
        <asp:ScriptReference Name=”MicrosoftAjax.js” />
        <asp:ScriptReference Name=”MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js” />
    </Scripts>
</CompositeScript>

Note that this is an ASP.NET 3.5 feature.. so if you are using at least 3.5, you will have access to this..
