Ah, ok. I thought that closure was injecting the main app's script block so
the dynamic script would be in front of it but it makes sense that wouldn't
happen at release time.
IIRC, we control the launch of the app. I thought there is one more script
somewhere that calls app.start() that is generated by the compiler. IMO, that
script can be altered to wait for scripts to load.

Unless I missed something that’s what it’s doing right now after my fix.
I’ll try to explain the scenario as I see it (no modules).
Suppose we have an app that compiles to the following html.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var script =
document.createElement("script");
script.setAttribute("src",
"hljs.min.js");
document.head.appendChild(script);
</script>
<script type=”text/JavaScript”
src=”App.js”></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
After the first script element is loaded, the dom will look like:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var script =
document.createElement("script");
script.setAttribute("src",
"hljs.min.js");
document.head.appendChild(script);
</script>
<script type=”text/JavaScript”
src=”hljs.min.js”></script>
<script type=”text/JavaScript”
src=”App.js”></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
However, App.js will still be loaded before hljs.min.js because it was not
created dynamically. App.js will fail because it depends on hljs.

I don't think we have to inject these scripts into the main .js file. The
compiler knows when it is compiling the main app or a module. When compiling
the main app, it should inject the script in the HEAD of the html wrapper. For
modules, it can inject the script into a separate file. The ModuleLoader
already loads extra files before loading the module. It can load one more file.
Of course, I could be wrong...

libs should be simple.
Any ideas?

Every time I look, closure seems to change how it works. It looks like
they are using callbacks and UIDs. I assume they can't use await or Promise
because of IE support. I haven't looked at the code you generate, but might
have to do something similar, IOW, wait for the callback or known value before
continuing.
I think that if we create the script during the running of another
script that we have to find a way to wait for that created script.
It might help to know what kind of initialization code needed the
definition so early. One alternative is that such code needs to be responsible
for waiting.
Most of our Application classes have a wait mechanism. We could
leverage that, but that's also pretty late.
It could be that for Applications we generate the script in the head,
and for modules we generate a separate script that is preloaded.

It’s going before but the network shows it’s loaded after.

google closure uses in js-debug. I think they set some options so the scripts
load in order.
I see type being specified in the gcl script elements, while inject
ones don’t. I suppose it’s worth seeing if that makes a difference, though I
couldn’t find evidence for that on the web.
