the problem would be knowing where to insert those lines. You sometimes need to do things before writing to the output stream(response encoding,etc), so it can't just go at the top of the file in all cases. This is why the include is available.
You could use a filter to use RequestDispatcher.include() for all jsps and append(or prepend) the output from the include and the jsp in your filter. This of course assumes that you aren't using the included code within the jsp(custom authentication,logging to db,etc).
