I've played with this quite a bit. It's pretty nifty, and it does have
an include:

 load( 'foo.js' );

Exposing Java classes via JavaScript is pretty simple as well and you
can do all your IO that way pretty easily. And creating JavaScript
objects that implement Java interfaces is pretty easy too.  (Examples
on request...)
