I searched, and didn't find anything else on this topic, so figured I'd post. If someone else has done this before, I am reasonably certain that some folks will take great pleasure in pointing it out to me.
To use an include file in a vbscript, without have to reference it via ASP/HTA/html tags, etc. do the following:
The 'include' file can contain any normal vbscript, etc. that you would have in any other .vbs file, including subs and functions.
To access the code,
set oFile = fso.OpenTextFile(sFileName,1)
sText = oFile.ReadAll
oFile.close
ExecuteGlobal sText
And voila, the commands that you had in the include file are ran.

It can be useful for codes that are shared by a large number of vbs.
I often use this method to pass parameters. I have in my file for example:
x=1
y=2
z=3
string = "my string"
...
Then I open this file for reading and do "Execute oFile.readAll".
What's the difference between "Execute" and "ExecuteGlobal"?

I think this was one of the reasons why script components were invented. Just too bad this is IE only technology.

When you say 'too bad this is IE only technology', what exactly are you referring to?

Creating a Windows Script component as you know, turns your script into a COM component basically. So,
Dim TNO
Set TNO = CreateObject("TNO.Framework");
Can be used in the browser, HTML Application and on an ASP page as Server.CreateObject("TNO.Framework")
When I say this is IE only, I mean if I used the above in my webpage using JavaScript:
var TNO = new ActiveXObject("TNO.Framework");
I don't expect Opera, Safari, FireFox, etc to execute it, forcing me to create a separate library.
But, I may have spoken too soon, I haven't tested this yet, but perhaps by using the <object> tag instead and/or GeckoActiveXObject() would still allow sharing the same file across client/server. But of course I have no idea if a .wsc can be used in this manner (not using activeXObject/CreateObject)

Actually, I didn't know. hehehe I work pretty exclusively in vanilla vbscript. .WSC, etc. are just random groupings of letters used to form arcane and mysterious filename externsions to me.
When i want to get REALLY crazy and wild, I write a .HTA.
I thought you were referring to the ExecuteGlobal and Execute commands.
