Is there a way to implement some kind of #include for libraries in sc?

a class in a library could check for the existence of other dependent libraries during its *initClass

We should take a look at how Gem for Ruby does this. I haven't dug deep, but its always been quite smooth.

Really you only need to check for the existence of some expected class and complain if its not there.

classname.require("This lib requires this other lib.");

the user would then include the other one that is needed.

mostly I would want to see the whole list and quickly turn on and off various class libs.
