My usual way to do this is:
- put the extra source files in the lib/app... directory
- source them using:
#
# Auxiliary routines ...
#
source [file join [file dirname [info script]] "other_file.tcl"]
from the main code in the main source file (the one that gets
sourced due to the package require).
This incantation may seem complicated, but if you analyse it, you will
see it is doing the following:
- get the full name of the script that is being sourced (in this case
the package)
- that will give the directory (wherever that is, through whatever
VFS manipulations it has to emerge) that holds all the other
script files as well.
(I do not mean to be "arrogant" or "clever" - I just want to make
the process clearer, as understanding the code is better than
learning it by heart :))

Arjen
