how to integrate third-party JavaScript libraries in userscripts

For this userscript I'm writing, I need to use a couple of third-party JavaScript libraries which have multiple JS files. Since @require doesn't work on Chrome, how can I add multiple external JS libraries to a userscript? I'm considering all the possibilities before choosing one.

I know you can add jQuery using this method. I have personally used that. But all my other code would have to run inside the main function of this code! I think that would be a problem when there are many libraries to work with.

Can you please suggest any other alternatives?

All your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why not using the simplest and most reliable method?

XML

<html>
<head>
    <title>...?<title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        //use JavaScript with jQuery here!
    </script>

<!-- ... -->

</body>
</html>

I'm writing a userscript. Not a web page.
