Q63 Is it possible to import a .js file from another .js file?

Within the import.html file:

<body>
<script src="import1.js">
</script>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
document.write(test1());
document.write(test2());
//--></script>
</body>

Within the import1.js file:

function test1() {
    return '<scr' + 'ipt src="import2.js">' + '<\/script>';
}

Within the import2.js file:

function test2() {
    return 'Hello World';
}

Note for it to work test1() must be called whilst rendering the page. If you call it after the page has rendered then it might overwrite the current document.
