Include external JS file and setting variable

Question

I need to include an external JS-file with

<script src="/IframeHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

But I need to set a variable and I tried somthing like this:

<script src="/IframeHelper.js" type="text/javascript">var $Vari = 'Para';</script>

And inside the "IFrameHelper.js" something like this:

var $Site = 'Rootfolder' + $Vari;

But you know...this doesn´t work. But how can I do this? It´s a little bit like calling a script with parameters. But such a parameter can be a JSON-String oder "long text".

As per my understanding you need to include IframeHelper.js file after you declare your variable.

<script type="text/javascript">var $Vari = 'Para';</script>
<script src="/IframeHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

yes agree, need to load variable before loading the script, so comes in scope

Thanks...this works! The other thing I´ve tried now is to call a function in a seperate script-tag after including the file.
