Why can't you just always load jQuery beforehand, then neither of the libraries should need to load jQuery. Something requiring jQuery shouldn't imply that it loads it, rather it would be better if jQuery was loaded separately on it's own. Even if you make jQuery safe to include more than once you're still causing an unnecessary request when you try and load it a second time even though it's already loaded.
