Chapter 11. Preprocessing Directives, Server-Side Includes, and GLOBAL.ASA
This chapter provides a catch-all description of several features of Active Server Pages applications that do not neatly fit into groups defined on the basis of the ASP object model:
Preprocessing directives, the method by which you instruct the web server to perform certain functions before processing the script in the Active Server Pages
Server-Side Includes, which allow you to easily include commonly used code into your scripts; this allows you to write reusable code that need only be stored and maintained in one centralized location
