The sc-init and sc-server are Sproutcore 1.X. Sproutcore 2.X (now Amber, what we're discussing here) works exactly like you'd want:

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/libs/sproutcore-2.0.beta.3.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/app.js"></script>
