Web.config Location path & AJAX

[Slapoo]

In my ASP 2.0 web app my system.web tag is nested within a location path tag. This structure breaks all AJAX functionality, causing the 'Sys is not defined' error.
When I remove the location path tags, AJAX runs great.
However, everything barfs again if I try to pull out the system.web tags from within the location path tags. Location tags refuse to stand alone - requiring some other content... what to do?

OK - for now I just nested some empty <system.data.sq lclient> tags in the location tags, pulled out the system.web tags from the location tags nesting, and everybody is playing nice together. But is this the best approach? Is there a better way?
