I have this code:

<% require javascript("$themeDir/javascript/bl.js") %>

Doesn't work. Nothing gets included.

If I replace the $themeDir by the actual themedir, e.g. "themes/themename", then it does work. This also works:

<script src="$ThemeDir/javascript/bl.js"></script>

Why not in a require?

It's because of the "$Theme..." and not "$theme..." ?
