how do I include .js link into another .js?

Question

ok let's say I have these two links

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script>

I'm using these as my javascript sources

and I created another file called

<script src="testing.js"></script>

but in my html I want to show the script src="testing.js" I am able to somehow put the first two links into the testing.js file?

so in my html it'll only show

<script src="testing.js"></script>

but actually it's running three scripts...

show us what you have written in your testing.js file.. – Sudip Pal Apr 01 '13 at 06:35 — Sudip Pal, Apr 01 '13 at 06:35

You cannot directly link a .js file from a .js file

Check this: How do I include a JavaScript file in another JavaScript file?

It clearly says what can you do to link a .js in a .js file

Solution from about.com:

In your testing.js file create this function:

function addJavascript(jsname,pos) {
var th = document.getElementsByTagName(pos)[0];
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
s.setAttribute('src',jsname);
th.appendChild(s);
}

Later call the function using:

addJavascript('http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js','head');
addJavascript('http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js','head');

There are few other ways, but not all of them are compatible with all browsers.

You can only include a script file in an HTML page, not in another script file

You can use requireJS for Asynchronous loading of JS files. If that is an option, A tutorial to get you started can be found here.

P.S. I know that this is not what OP asked but the requirement is very similar to this.
