Answer 1

You can register client script includes using the ClientScriptManager. Page is accessible through the Control.Page property.

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude (
  typeof ( MyControl ), "includeme.js", "js/includeme.js"  );

EDIT: Sorry, for a total "complete package", its possible using scripts as Embedded Resources, and aquire dynamic URL's through the WebResource.axd handler. If this is not considered totally complete, then i guess it could be put in App_LocalResources, but it never gonna be just one file, unless the code and script is inline.

In my site I Place all needed scripts and styles to placeHolder

<asp:placeHolder runat="Server" ID="phHead">
    <script src="/header/widget/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="/header/widget/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</asp:placeHolder>

and

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Page.Header.Controls.Add(phHead)
End Sub
