The problem is that this theme's tpl file does not include the <head> section.

That will only let one include JS files in the theme's directory. I
need to include both files on another server, and also inline
javascript in the head section.

That does look like a solution, but where to put the call to the
function? I it supposed to be in the tpl.php file? I stress that this
theme's tpl.php file does not have a <head> section.
