Simply include the JavaScript for jQuery before you include your own JavaScript:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/your/script.js"></script>

Though others have suggested simply copying and pasting jQuery into your own JavaScript file, it's really better to include jQuery separately from a canonical source as that will allow you to take advantage of the caching that your browser and intermediate servers have done for that file.

you want to include a js file into a js file... javascript does not have something like a include function but you can load the file with an ajax request. check this out Include JavaScript file inside JavaScript file?

Just merge the files.

cat jquery.js >> a_javascript_file.js

Or, since you probably want jQuery first:

cat a_javascript_file.js jquery.js > tmp.js;
mv tmp.js a_javascript_file.js
