How to include an external plugin inside of another jQuery plugin being authored

Question

I am building a custom jQuery plugin for a project I am working on. I want to return an object that is custom to another jQuery plugin...rather than having to make sure that

Sure - you can create a new script element and append it to the head.

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'url-to-plugin';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

If this doesn't work, maybe try the method on this page, it's a slightly different approach using setAttribute.
