Hey Jason,
I thought it made sense too - the explanation of why it happens.
Yes, it would be ideal if jquery were just added to the portal
templates. However, the developers don't have control over the portal
templates. They are strictly locked down, and there is no way the
manager of the portal will put it in. So we need to come up with
another way of either dynamically adding the plugin, then using it, or
detecting if jquery is already called before calling it again. Of
course, that last one would require that all developers do that, which
may not happen. It would be awesome if jquery itself would know that
it's already been declared and not override itself if it was.
