Is there any jquery plugin (instead of incldeMany) or simple function to include js-files on demand ?
for example:
$.include('myscript.js');
?

How about jQuery.getScript()? It's built in to jQuery and works like so:
$.getScript('ajax/test.js', function() {
alert('Load was performed.');
});

Note: the path is relative to the root folder, not where the jQuery file is. So, if you have a main file for your functions like site.com/assets/main.js and you use this function to load in "test.js" the function would be: $.getScript('assets/test.js', function() { alert('Load was performed.'); }); or wherever you've got the file. Hope this helps!

@DrewDelloStritto The path is not relative to the root folder but to the folder where the browser called html file is. So if you load site.com/assets/page.html and the main script is in site.com/assets/main.js than to load test in the same folder you need
$.getScript('test.js', function() { alert('Load was performed.'); });

Note that
alert() might not always be fired. See stackoverflow.com/a/19819672/13019 for a good solution.Not exactly a jQuery plugin, but you might try looking into RequireJS. Especially the "How to use RequireJS with jQuery" section.
I don't have much experience with this solution yet, but from what I've read and played around with I like the possibilities.
