You can do it via IC's include:
[include file="/path/to/yourjavascript.js"]

Or you could do it the HTML/JS way:
<script src="/path/to/yourjavascript.js"></script>

Using the IC include method will allow you to embed IC markup in the 
javascript.   The script source method may be more efficient for "static" 
code in that some browsers may cache the script.   Or you could even have 
the <script> source tag inside an [include]d HTML file to perhaps reap the 
best of both worlds.
