JavaScript Include
JavaScript Include is a simple script for including scripts on the fly. It relies on XMLHttpRequest and eval() to load scripts as soon as they’re requested.
JavaScript Include uses a very simple module pattern to package scripts as self-contained modules. It includes a function called namespace(), which is inspired by the YUI namespace function. JavaScript Include itself is written in its module pattern, and there is also an example provided at src/example.js.
JavaScript Include always evaluates scripts in an anonymous scope, so the module must use either the namespace() function or make a window reference to make functions visible to other scripts.
Organization
