How can I include/require foreign JavaScript libraries in WordPress?

Question

I am writing an interactive google map in javascript for a wordpress page. As far as I know, the only way to use javascript with wordpress is by creating a separate .js file and just calling the methods from there within the wordpress page. So my question is, if I need to use the google maps api in my javascript code, how do I 'include' it within the .js file instead of using a <script> tag in the html?

AFAIK there is no include in javascript. Take a look at wp_enqueue_script().

Edit

Just stumbled over the yepnope.js library by Alex Sexton. Maybe this is what you are looking for.

can I use wp_enqueue_script() within the html in the online interface for editing a wordpress page?

As long as you can edit PHP code there I don't see why not. I never used the online interface.
