Here's the kind of thing I use:

  function runShortRanges() { 
    var shortRangesScript = File(getScriptPath().parent.parent + "/IndexExtras/ShortRanges.jsx"); 
    if (shortRangesScript.exists) { 
      app.doScript(shortRangesScript); 
    } 
  } 


In this case, I want to run a particular script in a known location, only if it exists. It's a way of adding optional functionality to a script.
