If your included files don't contain any JSP code, you can use the <jsp:include... /> directive. This directive includes the file at request time, rather than page translation time -- so changes to your included file will show up immediately.
If your included files contain JSP code, then you're stuck with using the <%@ include... %> and you'll need to recompile all your JSPs whenever the included file changes.
