There are two ways (that I know of) to accomplish this:

Option 1:
Create a .RES file in the MAPS folder of your MOD directory. In that .RES file (edit with Notepad.exe, etc.) and make a list of all the custom resources that are to be downloaded with the map. Be sure to name the .RES file the same as your .BSP file.

Example .RES file:

// .RES file for my map
// (Automatically assume the mod directory)
MYWAD.wad
sound/ambience/thunderboom.wav
models/player/greenman/greenman.mdl
models/tree01.mdl

Option 2:
Use Zoner's Half-Life (Compile) Tools (ZHLT) for Valve Hammer Editor/WorldCraft and when you compile your map, use Advanced Compile (rather than Simple/Standard) and add "-wadinclude WADNAME" to either CSG.exe or RAD.exe.
