What I'm saying is, I don't think you can, without a editing a vBulletin core file. I don't think that's something you want to do, is it? Nor do I think it's something that can be done easily, not to mention voiding any official vBulletin support, as per the TOS. Maybe you can hire a PHP coder to look into it for you, but that seems to be going about it the hard way.

What I don't understand is what's the big deal with moving some code to the header? Maybe if we understood why your trying to avoid the header, we'd understand what you were trying to do better. As it stands, you seem to be dead set on going about this the more difficult way, the way that most likely won't work. Just saying that it's your choice, doesn't really mean it's possible. That's not how coding works.
