What do you mean when you say functions? If you mean something like: function customfunction(input){ // Does something here return output; }
Then there's no problem. If you mean another framework, like prototype.js or mootools or dojo or something, then you'll run into more problems. Otherwise, no, it doesn't really matter what order you include things in. Though, it's good practice to include jquery first, then your other stuff later. Especially if you use something like: $(document).ready(function(){}); in one of your files. The best rule of thumb for doing a header is: Title First Metadata Second All of your CSS Third Any Frameworks Fourth Any Framework Plugins 5th Any Custom stuff last So if you were to use jQuery, jQuery UI, and the tabs plugin, plus your own file, this is the best layout you can shoot for: <head> <title>My Page</title> <link href="layout.css"/> <link href="ui.tabs.css"/> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script src="ui.jquery.js"></script> <script src="tabs.ui.jquery.js"></script> <script src="mycustomfunctions.js"></script> </head> Hope that answered your question!
