Hi Eric, I did a small test that I'd like to tell you about. I created "dummy.js" at the root of OL. I added "rummy.js" one level down the directory tree. If I run the build script, both files get included, as expected. dummy.js gets included first and rummy.js gets included after in the compressed file. At first I thought dummy.js was included first because it was at the root of OpenLayers and rummy.js was one tree level down, but it looks like it's just because files are ordered alphabetically. If I put a file called dummy-3.js at the same location as rummy.js, it will get included *before* dummy.js. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it. Now if I add a dependency in dummy.js like so : /** * @requires OpenLayers/rummy.js */ I should expect its contents to be included in the compressed file before dummy.js. Checked. Now the question I had was : if I put dummy.js in the exclude part of jsbuild's .cfg file, should I expect *both* dummy.js and it's required contents (rummy.js) to be excluded from the build ? I thought that's what I would get, but the answer is no. Only dummy.js' content is excluded. The rationale for me is that @requires is an "include" dependency, but not an "exclude" dependency. That is, i can't rely on dummy.js being excluded from the compressed file given that dummy.js shows in the list of excludes. It's understandable because there may be other files besides dummy.js that @include or @requires rummy.js. So my question is : how can MapFish cascade "exclude dependencies" and produce a lean compressed js file ? Also, I noted that putting dummy.js in the list of `first` includes in the jsbuild cfg file does indeed put dummy.js right up the top of the compressed js file, but rummy.js's content is *not* included before, which it should. So one cannot really prepend a js file that has @requires dependencies. Are we left with manually specifying include/exclude dependencies ?
