Although that's a novel idea, it would require a "standard" in writing
widgets, which we all know, has created a long standing problem in that:
 - one side says development should be free-form. No rules to develop the
app.
 - the other says that there should be standards so that widgets work
together with little to no changes in code.

Well... I say just leave things the way they are. don't bother creating a
require, as it would require that all scripts that are included within the
'include' method notify the API that it has completed loading. Only IE5+ can
truely detect successful completion of an external script.

I say keep the list of "include" statements at the top for every required
file. It allows a user viewing an application for the first time to know
exactly everything that is needed to run the app. This shouldn't be C++
include within include within include.... simple one-pass include should
suffice.
