Hi Ravish,

Script Include always runs on the server side but can be called from client side. It always contains server side code only. It is mainly used to pass parameters from client codes and run some logic on server side. This is very powerful. You can even use these in the filter conditions, conditions, UI scripts and almost every where.

UI macro executes on the server side. It may contain both server side code (using <g:> or <g2> tags) as well as client side code(<script> tags). This is mainly used with UI pages.
