Comments on this issue welcome.  Seems like a big omission if indeed there is no way for an author to load an external Javascript library into a Script node internal to an X3D scene.

-----------------
No method currently exists to import source for an external Javascript
library into an embedded X3D Script node.

The ECMAScript specification reserves keywords "import export" but does not
define functionality.
http://www.web3d.org/specifications/Ecma-262.pdf

HTML supports multiple javascript libraries in the web page via the  element.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/scripting-1.html

X3D needs a similar mechanism where an X3D Script author can use/reuse an
external Javascript library.
