jQuery not working in functions included js files [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

• Why does jQuery or a DOM method such as getElementById not find the element? 6 answers

I honestly don't know what is wrong. I write my includes like this:

 <script src="http://ift.tt/2eBd7UN"></script>    

<script src="http://ift.tt/2aHTozy"></script>

<script src="path/to/source/js/utils.js"></script>

<script src="path/to/source/js/initPage.js"></script>

<script> 
    myScript(); //uses stuff from the last 2 JS files. 
</script>

and myScript executes, EXCEPT for whichever functions in it use jQuery selectors. I tested it all around, and it just shows jQuery doesn't load in those files.

However, if I do

<script src="http://ift.tt/2eBd7UN"></script>
<script src="http://ift.tt/2aHTozy"></script>
<script>
    $.getScript("path/to/source//js/utils.js", function(){
        $.getScript("path/to/source//js/initPage.js");
         myScript();
    });
</script>

myScript executes without any problems, the jQuery parts of it included.

My question is:
Is it possible to make the first implementation work somehow? Because $.getScript(), unlike the tags, doesn't initiate caching, and I am too lazy to implement a custom ajax call that does.
