    I just want to know if the following sequence of javascript code is possible.If possible what are the drawbacks and what are the considerations I should remember. 

    
<script type="text/javascript" src="someFile.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
// code goes here
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="anotherFile.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="anotherFile.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
// code goes here
</script>
    Code (markup):

    might be a little bit slower with multiple javascript files but not significantly, plus seperating the code into seperate files will make debugging slighly easier if you don't have a proper debugger.

    just remember this though:

    # Inline scripts block rendering in the entire page;
    # Inline scripts block downloads;
    # Stylesheets followed by inline scripts can make your pages twice as slow;

    (championed by Steve Souders (author of YSlow), who now works at google on web performance).
