The script must define window.impHelpers.autoload variable with object with certain structure:

//autoload
window.impHelpers.autoload = {
  modules: [
  ["<helper-name>", "<method to call>" , <parameters>],
  // you can skip method, 
  // "autoload" will be called by default,
  // or "animate" if "autoload" is not present
  ["<helper2-name>",<parameters object>],
  
  // you can skip method and params, 
  // only "init" will be called 
  // ("init" is always called)
  
  ["<helper2-name>"]
  	...
  	]
};
