Actually after the document has loaded, any function passed to $
(document).ready() will fire immediately. Also functions are called in
the order they were added, so you can put it inside the getScript
callback like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
   x = function(d){ alert(d) };
});

$.getScript('script.js', function(){
   $(function(){
        x('script loaded and DOM ready');
   });
});

getScript() will be fired before DOM ready, then it's callback will
add a function to $(doc).ready() which will execute after the function
assignment.
