How to manage/import my jQuery templates

How to manage/import my jQuery templates

I would like to know how I am supposed to manage my jQuery templates.

I have my templates externalized in jqTemplates.tmpl

How do I get jqTemplates.tmpl loaded into my html file?
How do I get jqTemplates.tmpl loaded into my javascript file?

What's the best way to do these two things?  I just don't know.  I have done this using

<!-- include file="jqTemplates.tmpl" -->

but I need to find a better way.

Thanks.
