RequireJS in Wordpress theme

footer.php

<?php if (WP_THEME_DEBUG) { ?>
<script>
var require = {
	baseUrl: '<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/',
	paths: {
		'jquery': 'libs/jquery-1.7.2.min',
		'jquery.mousewheel': 'libs/jquery.mousewheel'
	},
	shim: {
		'jquery.mousewheel': ['jquery']
	}
};
</script>
<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/libs/require.js" data-main="main"></script>
<?php } else { ?>
<script src="http://yandex.st/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/js/libs/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>
<script src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/build/scripts.min.js"></script>
<?php } ?>

i needed to deregister the default jquery instance on functions.php

if( !is_admin() ) {
  wp_deregister_script("jquery");
}

before calling it via require.js

I've been working on a WP site and am currently using RequireJS to load jQuery core from wp-includes/js/jquery. But because of how WordPress works, if I install a jQuery-dependent plugin via WP-Admin later on, the plugin will install jQuery core again. The end result is that the page will have two references to jQuery. Just curious if anyone has a workaround for this? Thanks in advance.
