The haml to include app/assets/javascripts/application.js in a rails3 view
is something like this:
!!! 5
%html
%head
%title= t :title
= stylesheet_link_tag "application"
= javascript_include_tag "application"
= csrf_meta_tag
= content_for :head
%body
Then further js files should be called from application.js... check the
rails guides asset pipeline docs... you'll have a line in there like "//=
require 'masonry.js'"

looks as if masonry is a rails engine, packaged as a gem. So the js is
automatically on the load path, you don't have to worry about where it is
(it's in the gems location for your app). You should be able to list the js
(e.g. masonry.js) in the application.js manifest. This is the same way you
pull jQuery in... it's packaged in the jquery-rails gem so you don't see it
under the rails root... it's in the gems.
