Is there a standard order for the head content? (ie, scripts, include files, metatags, css links, etc)

In theory, there shouldn't be.
However, I've experienced problems with putting IE 8 into compatibility mode if the meta tag is placed after a script tag, or certain other elements. For this reason, I'll always put the compatibility directive first should I need it.
Also, if you have any JS that needs to access things like the document title, etc, then it would need to be included after the title element.
Personally, I always put any meta tags, then title, then main CSS, then IE override CSS, then JS.
Hope this helps,

Thank you. That also answers some of the "quarks" I've been coming across with compatibility issues.
