Does that mean I shouldn't be doing the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
JSBool JavaScript::JS_include(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, uintN argc, 
jsval *argv, jsval *rval) {

	JSString *str = JS_ValueToString(cx, argv[0]);
	if (!str) return JS_FALSE;
	
	JSScript *s = JS_CompileFile(cx, obj, JS_GetStringBytes(str));
	jsval ret;
	bool b = JS_ExecuteScript(cx, obj, s, &ret);
	JS_DestroyScript(cx, s);

	return b;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make an include() function?  (Need to improve it to handle relative 
directories.)
