Of multiple script/paperscript scripts, only the first seems to run in PaperScope.

[GolezTrol]

If I have multiple paperscripts in my page, only the first seems to be run in paperscript scope.

Eg:
< script type="text/paperscript" src="scripts/main.js" canvas="myCanvas"></script>
< script type="text/paperscript" src="scripts/extra.js"></script>

'extra.js' is actually loaded by Paper.js, but I cannot, for instance, alter 'view.zoom'. I have to write 'paper.view.zoom', indicating that this script runs in the global scope instead of the paper scope.

Example project: http://barbata.nl/SO/Maps/ (Cannot promise it will be there forever, sorry)

I needed the ability to load multiple scripts for the same canvas/scope, so I added this in a fork:

Specifying the same canvas name for two scripts will cause them to be loaded in the same scope:

<script type="text/paperscript" src="paperscript1.js" canvas="pcanvas1"></script>
<script type="text/paperscript" src="paperscript2.js" canvas="pcanvas1"></script>
<script type="text/paperscript" src="paperscript3.js" canvas="pcanvas2"></script>

In this example, paperscript1.js and paperscript2.js are both loaded into pcanvas1, while paperscript3.js is loaded into pcanvas2. If compatibility is a concern, one option is to add a data attribute to explicitly control the multiple script behavior (add/overwrite/etc):

<script type="text/paperscript" src="paperscript2.js" canvas="pcanvas1" data-script-scope="add"></script>

I didn't add this extra level of control because I didn't need it, but it wouldn't be a lot of work.

If this is useful for the project, let me know and I'll sign the agreement and send a pull request.

That's great, and makes a whole lot of sense! I totally agree that the extra level is not needed. I am confident that this will make it into the next release. I just need to look at implementation details first to see if I merge the request, or restructure the code a bit.

This looks good. @andypayne would you like to create a pull request?
