Polymer: how to inline external scripts - polymer

Question

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to inline external javascripts in my Polymer elements. I know if I have a link to a stylesheet then it gets merged (from http://www.polymer-project.org/docs/polymer/styling.html):
<polymer-element name="my-element">
<template>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="my-element.css">
...
</template>
<script>
Polymer('my-element',...);
</script>
</polymer>
Polymer will automatically inline the my-element.css stylesheet using a :
<polymer-element ...>
<template>
<style>.../* Styles from my-element.css */...</style>
...
</template>
<script>
Polymer('my-element',...);
</script>
</polymer>
I am looking for a way to do the same with external javascript files:
<polymer-element name="my-element">
<template>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="my-element.css">
...
</template>
<script src="my-element.js">
</polymer>
and get something like this:
<polymer-element ...>
<template>
<style>.../* Styles from my-element.css */...</style>
...
</template>
<script>.../* code from my-element.js */...</script>
</polymer>
I looked at vulcanize (https://github.com/Polymer/vulcanize) but it does not seem to be able to do it.
EDIT:
let me rephrase what I want to achieve:
I know that when vulcan processes a HTML page that contains elements, it merges the templates of these elements into the resulting output, and (given the --csp option) it also creates a javascript file where it puts all embedded scripts of the elements. I want to be able to merge into the resulting .js file not only embedded scripts but also scripts that are linked to from my elements.

It should work as you wrote it, except that <script> requires a closing tag. I.e.
<polymer-element name="my-element">
<template>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="my-element.css">
...
</template>
<script src="my-element.js"></script>
</polymer>
Fwiw, the script in either case is loaded and executed normally by the browser. In that sense, it's different from the stylesheet link which is a feature being simulated by Polymer.
For the same reason, you can load/run that script anywhere. The tag doesn't have to be inside the <polymer-element>.
