Subj : [Rhino] what is better for includes?

For using JS in a servlet environment, I translate the page into a
JavaScript only file, then I compile it with Rhino into a bytecode .class
file.
For include files, I can either
- compile each include into a separate class file, then execute the script
in the same scope as the main page
- make a big .js file for each main page, with all include files
concatenated, then compile the main page only into bytecode.
Question is, do I have any chance to get better compile-time optimizations
if I concatenate all include files to the main script? Otherwise I would use
the first solution, since the translation is simpler for it.

Thanks,
Mike
