Yes we can.

This is usually done in the footer of a page before the closing body tag. Like this...

    <script src="second-app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<body>

In this example, there are 2 linking script files. I've used 2 app.js files as an example but you would have the main script file as the last one. Be aware that the files are read one by one by the browser so 2 functions of the same name in different files are overridden by the other.
