Jerry,
You would request SCOPE_IDENTITY back. Instead I suggest you to use GUID as unique IDs. You don't need to request back then because you know them before inserting.
PS: Warning if inserting via a stored procedure than SCOPE_IDENTITY wouldn't work. However you could query directly:
select IDENTCOLUMN from inserted
