Re-direct to main.asp itself (instead of a separate secondary.asp) from main.asp and check for an extra parameter... always do whatever you're doing in main.asp and then have another section that you run only if this other parameters is there...
That's kind of a sketchy design. Please post some code and we can discuss it in more detail.

I sounds to me like you are trying to apply Cold Fusion fusebox to asp. I am creating an asp site with this philosophy myself. As rxolotl said you should use includes. The site I have created is quite layers, like a tree like you said. Therefore in each url, I pass more than one parameter.
index.asp?fuse=Subone&reco
index.asp?fuse=News&record
Then your page is structured like:
select case
case "Subone"
<!--#include file="qry_getsubone.asp"--
(query to get the correct info cooresponding to ID=3 from database)
<!--#include file="dsp_getsubone.asp"--
(display the information from the query)
case "news"
etc.
I'm not sure exactly what database info you are spitting out of SQL, but it is probably not too hard to simple add a second paramter to differentiate between sections. However, more information would likely determine how hard this would be.
Guys, that's the very problem. If I use the "include" directive , I would still have to calcuate the page included in the "include" directive. Now I won't to avoid it. The work already done, I don't want to repeat it again. I am looking if you can cache the previous page and then depending on some extra parameter in the link, you do some additional work and then display the previous page from cache and attach the extra stuff you just calculated and present it as one whole page.
Also I just noticed one more thing. The ASP engine always processes the include files first and then the rest of the page. If I have like 15 include files, and I am just selecting one depending on some condition, it will kill my performance. Also to make things worse, all the include files do database lookups.
if you could transform to javascript your code you just need to include in html, then you could obtain part of it page if you enable or not.
To include a part of a page try
Page 1
<!--Page1.html-->
<Script language='javascript' src='http://yourURL/page2.
Page 2
//Page2.js
//just write javascript
document.write("Hello world");

I think that you could include .inc pages by demand
