The scripts are loaded asynchronously, so if there's no dependency declared
there's no guarantee of the ordering that they are executed in.
If you have modules A and B where B uses A in a "$(function(){...})" block,
then you have several possibilities depending on which network request
completes first:
* module A, then module B, then HTML -> works
* module B, then module A, then HTML -> works
* module A, then HTML, then module B -> works
* module B, then HTML, then module A -> fails
* HTML, then module A, then module B -> works
* HTML, then module B, then module A -> fails
Depending on network conditions, size of pages & modules, what's enabled,
and what's cached in your browser, you could land on any of those
possibilities.
