It can be a lot of trial and error at times. However, today I noticed an issue w/Dean Edwards Packer (http://dean.edwards.name/packer/.) The "shrink variables" option can really munge code. I've found it's extremely unreliable. As for order of the libs, that just depends. I avoid trying to make one gigantic packed file. The Interface website now has a "dependency" chart that will show you which plug-ins/files you need and what order they need to be included. So, for the project I'm working on, I'm using the compressed version of jQuery--and loading that separate. I'm then compressing just the Interface plug-ins I'm actually using--and packed those up separate. I don't pack unrelated code together. Hope this helps! -Dan
