Except that it's totally not what I want to achieve. I'm not after 
conditionally including the files, I'm after being able to nest the 
includes.

I could also insert the scripts by adding extra script elements 
through the DOM. But that's also not what I'm trying to achieve.

Actually, now I think of it, seeing that it's really only browsers 
that support the DOM that I'm targeting  (and providing there's some 
graceful fallback for Mac IE5 which doesn't allow adding script 
elements), that's a possible solution.

Still doesn't answer my original question though...
