"Libraries aren't "included" in the script, “
Shane, I understand that, however, I don’t know what would be the appropriate terminally, “used”, “called”, “loaded" ?
I particularly disagree with loaded, which was the old terminology and it really meant loading the “library” into the script.
As for the mess with namespaces, I believe that it would be an inexorable consequence of the way AppleScript works.
And scripting addition is the least of our problems, lets talk about Microsoft office apps when speaking of messy namespace conventions.
