Hi all,

I run into a problem using a JavaScript Charting library which is
based on Prototype.  The requirement is that prototype.js is loaded
before the charting library.

I could solve this by adding script tags to my host page in the proper
order but I would like to distribute the library as GWT module. So
this is not a solution.

If I reference the scripts from my gwt.xml file, I do not get a
defined order of loading. The first script is by far larger and
appears after the second, which leads to a JavaScript exception.
<module>
        <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/>
        <script src="loadMeFirst.js"/>
        <script src="loadMeSecond.js"/>
</module>

Another work around I found is to load the scripts with synchronyous
calls in the widget constructor.
        private native void initJs(String moduleBase) /*-{
                $wnd.console.log("modulebase="+moduleBase);

                var js = ["loadMeFirst.js", "loadMeSecond.js"];
                for(var i = 0; i< js.length; i++){
                        var scriptName = moduleBase+"protochart/"+js[i];
                        var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
                        req.open('GET', scriptName, false);
                        req.send(null);
                        if(req.status == 200)
                                eval(req.responseText);
                        else
                                $wnd.console.log("Loading failed "
                                                +req.status);
                }

        }-*/;

Is there any more GWT like approach to this?
