It doesn't. script2 is not downloaded at all, it is like a inline script. As
you might know scripts are evaluated in the order they are in the HTML code,
that is that script will be evaluated before script2 is.
It does work in all browsers I have tested jsPax with. The only problem I know
of is that script2 will also be evaluated if script can not be loaded
sucessfully. Then as soon as the browser knows that it can not load script,
it evaluates script2.

I have a simple line at the end of jquery.js:
$package('jquery',{});
The plugins are wraped with
$using('jquery', function() {
...
$package('jquery.myplugin',{});
});
If I then decide, I need the foo- and the bar-plugin in my code I simply do
$using(['jquery.foo','jquery.bar'], function() {
alert('jquery and foo plugin are loaded now');
});
That way I load much of the needed functions on demand. Which reduces startup
time - paied with eventual delays at the first use of some functions.
