I want to include a javascript reference like:
Depending how you want to implement it (if there was a specific location you wanted the scripts) you could implement a @section within your _Layout which would enable you to add additional scripts from the view itself, while still retaining structure. e.g.
...
@RenderSection("Scripts",false/*required*/)
@RenderBody()
@model MyNamespace.ViewModels.WhateverViewModel
@section Scripts
{
}
Otherwise, what you have is fine. If you don't mind it being "inline" with the view that was output, you can place the declaration within the view.
