Actually, it is the "nesting" that causes the problem. The first
Include call creates this:
<script>
contents of level1.js
</script>
But because level1 contains Include calls also, this is what results:
<script>
<script>
contents of /util/objectUtil.js
</script>
<script>
contents of /util/arrayUtil.js
</script>
<script>
contents of /util/stringUtil.js
</script>
<script>
contents of /select/select.js
</script>
</script>
Because the contents of a <script> section is not executed until AFTER
it is closed (</script>), The initial code has no problems, becuase it
contains no other tags when it is executed.
Unfortunately, there is no way of getting around this.
To get this kind of functionality in the AfroAPI, I had to use Java /
ActiveX.
