Config File + Class/Functions File - Variables Not Found?

I have a JavaScript config file called gameSetting.js which contains a bunch of variables which configures a particular game. I also have a shared JavaScript library which uses the variables in gameSetting.js, which I include like so:

<script type="text/javascript" src="gameSetting.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="gameLibrary.js" ></script>
In gameSetting.js I have:
$(document).ready(function()
{
// call some functions / classes in gameLibrary.js
}

in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, this works fine. However, in IE, when it's parsing gameSetting.js, it complains that the functions that live in gameLibrary.js aren't defined. When it gets to parsing gameLibrary.js, the variables in gameSetting.js are reported as not being defined. I've tried dynamically bootstrapping the gameLibrary file using this function in document.ready for dynamic load.

However, the same problem still happens in IE, where when it parses the files individually it's not taking into context the file/variables that came before, so it's not an out of load order problem.

My options are:

1) collapsing all the functions in gameLibrary.js and variables in gameSetting.js into one file. However, this is not practical because this is dealing with literally hundreds of games, and having a gameLibrary.js in ONE location for ONE update is what makes most logical sense.

2) figure out a way to get this to work where variables in file1 are accessible to file2 in IE (as it seems they are in other browsers).

jQuery seems to be able to have multiple plugins that all refer to the based jQuery-1.3.2.js, so I know there is a way to get this to work.
