script tags are run as they are read, I believe the variation is just a  
matter of file:// (local) reading faster than http:// (downloaded).

window.onload = function(){}; will execute when the entire page is loaded.  
That very well might be enough time for the code in the script tags at "b"  
to run, with a higher likelihood to run first the longer it takes to  
download a.js.
