Using asp in existing html template

[orebaba]

I'm planning to design a comprehensive shopping cart in asp that will work on different pre-designed html templates. This means that for each html template, the various asp pages like categories (category.asp), products (products.asp), cart (cart.asp) and so on will have same appearance in terms of page background, top logo, company slogan, top links, copyright & privacy statements at bottom, etc. My question is --

Is it possible to divide the html code of a particular template in two parts, like header (header.asp or header.inc) and footer (footer.asp or footer.inc) so that for any asp page, I just include header first followed by asp scripts and then footer ?

If possible, how it is done ? I heard that it is possible in php pages with the help of 'Require' statement. Can anyone suggest any similar page on the web ?
