title: Does the ORDER of javascript files matter, when they are all combined into one file?
body: <p>In todays modern age, where lots of (popular) javascripts files are loaded externally and locally, does <strong>the order in which the javascripts files are called</strong> matter especially when all local files are all combined (minified) into one file?</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore, many claim that Javascript should go in the <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#js_bottom" rel="noreferrer">bottom of the page</a> while others say javascript is best left in the head. Which should one do when? Thanks!</p>
