thanks all for your input and suggestions. unfortunately, i dont think any of this is likely to help for my situation. all these methods assume that each component knows the external elements it needs. however this is not the case for me. each component is checked into a repository and in that is defined what js and css files go with each component. (not my choice, this is how is was designed, so i have to deal). up until know the accepted method has been to call the header comp with a list of the comps to be called on the page. however i work with people who dont follow directions very well, thus i am trying to do this dynamically. what i have now is a regex that gets the matches i need from $m->file($m->request_comp->source_file) (thx Jonathan) and caches the results. its a painful regex but it does the job for now and can be tweaked in the future.
