I mention in an update to my minifying javscript article that: "Prototype doesn’t actively support a specific packing strategy for various reasons, and patches submitted for making the code pass something like JSLint are likely to be ignored. Reasons for this, and some other strategies on reducing filesize of the library are discussed in <a href="http://andrewdupont.net/2007/02/26/packing-prototype/" rel="nofollow">Packing Prototype</a>." Based on this, i would recommend against minifying your javascript and instead using something such as gzip compression. Akhil: It should bundle the js in the order they are specified
