What is the best way to include jQuery, Underscore, and Backbone as AMD modules using require.js?

Question

I've seen many variations to loading modules which do not support AMD yet, and I would like to know what is the best practice to do so.

Eventually, I would like to write modules like this:

module.js:

define(["jQuery", "Underscore", "Backbone"], function($, _, Backbone) {
    ... module code here
}

But there are a lot of problems with loading those dependencies using AMD since they are not all AMD compliant.

Answer 1

I've created a todo-list boilerplate web app which loads all modules as AMD modules (without loaders).

Answer 2

Thomas Davis has a better example (imo) for loading jquery/underscore/backbone in his non-updated example. Start by looking at the loader here

It uses the RequireJS order plugin found here to load the modules synchronously.
