Load order with javascript_include_tag :all

Question

So I've recently started to include quite a few .js files in to my web application and some of them depend on each other so load order is important.

However rails caching just seems to load a all.js file with no particular order to the files.

What's a good way to solve this issue?

I've been experimenting with the YUILoader Module, it seems pretty nifty, though I am currently frussing about loading up custom modules. It's totally doable, I just couldn't figure it out in 5 mins.

You can do as follows

• First, load the default JavaScript files.

• Then load other scripts in the order that you want

  <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "script_1", "script_2", "script_3" %>
