If you want to use JavaScript on the server side, you'll need to store it as a *property* 
on your design doc. So in a "lib" folder (outside of _attachments) with the 
'couchapp' it will get included like:


couchapp folder
   _id file
   |_ _attachments folder
       |_ ...clientside media...
   |_ lib folder
       |_ mustache.js

<---->

{_id:"<file contents>", _attachments: {...}, lib:{mustache:"<file contents>"}}

Then you would use it in a _show/_list/_update function with `var Mustache = 
require('lib/mustache')`. When I do need a library both server and clientside 
with 'couchapp', I tend to symlink it so it appears in both _attachments and 
other properties.


hope this helps,

yes, it does - thks.
