Comment (by Otto42):

 I agree with scribu here, that shouldn't be a viable use case. If you want
 to do that sort of thing, then you should properly enqueue the script. A
 child theme can dequeue your script and enqueue their own on the
 after_setup_theme hook if they want to do so.

 If you include support for GET variables, then somebody most certainly
 *will* use it that way, even when they definitely should not be. And then
 we'll have to add new checks to theme-check, and new rules to prevent
 people from using it incorrectly...

 No, limit the scope back to files only. If somebody does it wrong, then
 they should get wrong results.
