Call .js file from another .js file

Question

I have one javascript program in my module; say test1.js. It has IF..ELSEIF statements. My challenge is I want to call different .js programs based on conditions in IF-ELSE statements.

TEST1.js looks like -

-----
if(cond1) {
   //want to call test2.js here
}
else if(cond2) {
   //want to call test3.js here
}

How do I do this in javascript?

What do your other JS files look like? Have you tried using functions? — Scimonster

it has few array variables and few functions. I mean there is javascript code in every .js file. I have created different .js file based on conditions as code in those files is somewhat large. if i inserted it under IF..ELSE statement then it may get messup — Saurabh Deshpande

    if(cond1) 
    {
       //want to call test2.js here
            var js = document.createElement("script");
            js.type = "text/javascript";
            js.src = "test2.js";
            document.body.appendChild(js);
    }
    else if(cond2) 
    {
            //want to call test3.js here

            var js = document.createElement("script");
            js.type = "text/javascript";
            js.src = "test3.js";
            document.body.appendChild(js);

    }

test1.js

var arr={}; //array

test2.js

function alertOne() {
     if(cond1) {
   //from test1.js here
     alert(arr);
     }
     else if(cond2) {
     }
}

in HTML

<head>
    <script src="test1.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
    <script src="test2.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<head>

Use this method.
