Concat BEFORE conversion?

[terion-name]

When working with Coffescript it is important to concat .coffee files before compilation to js. Is there a way to do this?

[cs]

Just out of curiosity: Why is that important?

Because of scoping and variables definitions.

Each coffee file due compiling is wrapped in a closure, so when I have multiple .coffee files with application parts, after compiling they have no access to each other. At the moment i workaround this with passing bare=true option to compiler, bit this is not good.

And this approach breaks:

module/submodule1.coffee:
Module = Module || {}
Module.submodule1 = ...

module/submodule2.coffee:
Module = Module || {}
Module.submodule2 = ...

Because when this files compiled separately, var Module defines twice

Interesting. Thank you for explaining!
