script.aculo.us finds the `script` element that you used for the main scriptaculous.js file and reuses the path information from that when loading files like effects.js and such. So you don't have to worry about it. Off-topic, but scripty's technique of loading each of its modules piecemeal can be less than ideal for a publicly-facing website, because it causes multiple HTTP requests where really one would do. If you're loading from the Google CDN or something, I don't know, maybe it doesn't matter or doesn't matter *much* (I'd have to test that); but if you're hosting it yourself (as you appear to be doing if you're worrying about paths), usually the first "load time optimization" tip you'll see (for instance, here[1] or here[2]) is to minimize the number of HTTP requests your page does. Scripty's demand-loading of modules maximizes requests instead. If you take the Prototype file and append the parts of scripty you want to use so you have a single, consolidated file (and ideally throw that into a CDN), you're probably better off -- you end up with one request rather than (potentially), what, seven? YMMV, of course, and if you do that be sure to remove the part of scriptaculous.js that does the demand-loading (which is most of that file). Caveat: I don't use scripty, so I've never had to do the above in the real world. Perhaps someone with real-world experience will chime in, and if they do, they're likely to have higher-quality information.
