First of all, welcome to the future of web development ;)...

So I'm pretty familiar with MS MVC, are you just using steal or are you using controllers and views too?  If you are, I would bring everything in at once, but it your relying on MVC to render all your views, then bring them in with each partial.  The tricky part with the last option is I don't think you'll be able to leverage the build and compression process since JMVC runs through your app like a browser would looking for dependencies at build time.

Good luck....

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using JSMVC controllers and views too, but I was planning on also using ASP.NET views and partials to display most of the page content, and only use views from JSMVC to display content generated from an AJAX request. Does that make sense?

So using the method I've just mentioned, I'd probably have to do the steal all at once in order to still be able to use the build and compression process?

Thanks Austin :) 

if(steal.options.env == 'production')

  steal('mycommonplugins/package.js')

  steal({src: 'mycommonplugins/plugin1', packaged: true}, ....)

We set packaged: true to tell steal that when we compress, load this file, but don't add it to the production.js for this app.  Basically, this can work right now, but there will soon be support for doing all this automatically.  Adding this feature is at the top of the priority list for the 3.2 release.
