Calling same Jquery file many times
<p>I have multiple instances where I use jquery on my site (like an image slider and navigation) but they will not work if I do not place the jquery call multiple times.</p>

<p>E.g. the 2 snippets below won't work unless I call the script twice. Please help. (There are more jquery calls on my page as well calling different libraries) Can't I just call the latest library once and be done with it? I tried and doesn't work.  </p>

<pre><code>&lt;!--menu --&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/newnav.css" /&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/navdoublecolumn.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
&lt;!--
ddmegamenu.docinit({
    menuid:'solidmenu',
    dur:0, 
    easing:'easeInOutCirc' //&lt;--no comma after last setting
})
// --&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;



&lt;!-- slide --&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src="js/jquery.tabSlideOut.v1.3.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
$(function(){
    $('.slideout1').tabSlideOut({
        tabHandle: '.slideouthandle1',             //class of the element that will become your tab
        pathToTabImage: 'images/slideouttab_chat.jpg',//path to the image for the tab //Optionally can be set using css
        imageHeight: '150px',                     //height of tab image           //Optionally can be set using css
        imageWidth: '40px',                       //width of tab image            //Optionally can be set using css
        tabLocation: 'left',                      //side of screen where tab lives, top, right, bottom, or left
        speed: 200,                               //speed of animation
        action: 'click',                          //options: 'click' or 'hover', action to trigger animation
        topPos: '215px',                          //position from the top/ use if tabLocation is left or right
        leftPos: '20px',                          //position from left/ use if tabLocation is bottom or top
        fixedPosition: true                       //options: true makes it stick(fixed position) on scroll
    });

});
&lt;/script&gt;
