I provision custom page layout through elements.xml

I want to add a javascript file to that page to be used by some webparts put on that page through elements.xml as well.

In my custom page layout i add

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
<script src="/SiteAssets/SomeScript.js"></script>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

which works fine. But i want this code to be site url independent, meaning this needs to work on any site collection either with managed path or not. How can i inject ~site token into script tag?

In Sandbox, you can resolve the tokens using Literals:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">

<asp:literal ID="Literal1" runat="server" Text="&lt;script src='" />
<asp:literal ID="Literal2" runat="server" Text="<% $SPUrl:~site/SiteAssets/SomeScript.js %>" />
<asp:literal ID="Literal3" runat="server" Text="' type='text/javascript' &gt;&lt;/script&gt;" />

</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

If I'm not wrong it does not work in sharepoint foundation. – Alexander Aug 19 '12 at 16:25
I doubt the tokens will work on foundation since they are part of the publishing dll which is not present in foundation. – Vardhaman Deshpande Aug 19 '12 at 16:47
This does gets job done. But i tried to combine 3 literal into one one, but didn't succeed. It's a bummer, if i have 3 scripts, i need to add 9 lines. Thank you. – dotsa Aug 19 '12 at 18:21
That is sandbox for you :) – Vardhaman Deshpande Aug 19 '12 at 18:41

Have you tried something like this?

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
<script src="<%= SPContext.Current.Web.ServerRelativUrl.TrimEnd('/') %>/SiteAssets/SomeScript.js"></script>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
