I would like to use an external javascript file in another javascript file. For example, I could store all my global variables in a globals.js file and then call then from the website logic logic.js. Then in the index.html, i would insert the tag. How do I use the globals.js inside the logic.js?

Javascript doesn't have any implicit include this other file mechanisms, like css's @include. You just have to list your globals file before the logic file in the tags:

 <script type=text/javascript src=globals.js />

 <script type=text/javascript src=logic.js />

If guaranteeing that the globals are available before anything in the logic file fires up, you can do a slow polling loop to see if some particular variable is available before calling an init() or whatever function.
