If you need to include the JavaScript from the code behind of a page or WebControl, you have a few options

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude(typeof(WebControlThatNeedsIt), "IdentifierOfTheScriptSuchAsLoad", "~/myfile.js");

this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(WebControlThatNeedsIt), "IdentifierOfTheScriptSuchAsLoad", "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/myfile.js\"></script>",false);

If not you can use what Quinton Suggested in the markup.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/myfile.js"></script>

Note that using the 

</script>

is important, as self closing doesn't work with script tags i.e.:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/myfilewontwork.js"/>

Also, if you are using Visual Studio, you can drag the file right into your aspx file and it will generate the correct markup for you.

It should be the same as including it in any standard html page..

<script type="text/javascript" src="/scriptname.js"></script>

If this isn't exactly what you are looking for let me know and I'd be happy to expand as far as I can.
