My company has a set of global virtual files that they want to use for the look and feel of the site. In the ASP days you would use #include virtual="etc". These are files outside of the application.
In ASP.NET you could use something like Response.WriteFile...
But if I try that in an MVC View then I get the content always at the top of the page, not where I want it in position.
How would I approach doing this in ASP.NET MVC?

Ahhh, that could work as well. I didn't think you could reference .ascx files within a PartialView if you're using Razor as your view engine. See how I did it below. Yes, it looks like a kluge but actually works. I'll look at your solution as well. Actually that solution you posted wouldn't work for me because the includes have to be located in a central location well outside of the directory structure of the application. Since someone may change content in the include globally, if I had the content within the application, I wouldn't be picking up the changes.

I actually got this to work. I HAD to work with these old virtual includes, I had no choice for the company.
I did this in the layout: I basically had to inject the includes with a Response.WriteFile to the place up the directory tree where the includes were located. These includes are used for ALL web sites in our company. Then I used a StringBuilder to build the content within the layout. I also had to put the @RenderBody statement within the Response object as well.
