include

First, a caveat. The main script is not run in a webpage. I will be running the .js file in Windows using Windows Script Host.

The problem: I would like to create a javascript "library" containing a number of objects, each with a number of functions. I expect this library will get rather large with time and would like to keep it in a separate javascript file (let's call it Library.js). I would like to access the objects from Library.js from another script (let's call this one User.js).

In essence, I am looking for something similar to the C/C++ "include" paradigm.

Is there anyway to implement this in javascript? (Remember, this is not web-based)
