Hi I will like to tell you here that if you want to include non AMD scripts (which do not include define() call) , we use shim config . I will like to explain with a simple example of jquery hightlight plugin.

this will be your config file where you define all paths

paths:{
    "jquery":"/path/to/jquery",
    "jgHighlight":"/path/to/jquery.highlight"
},
   shim:{

        deps:["jquery"], // jquery.highlight dependeps on jquery so it will load after jquery has been loaded 
        exports:"jqHighlight"

   }

Now in a module which starts with define , include jqHighlight like this

define(["requireModulesArray","jgHighlight"],function(requiredModulesAliasArray){

   // no need to include any alias for jgHighlight in function(...)
   //use it like this now

     $("#divT").highlight("someText");

});

Similarly other non amd modules will be included and used. Thanks
