Ok here's my solution. First copy app\code\core\Mage\Page\Block\Html\head.php to app\code\local\Mage\Page\Block\Html\head.php

Then add this function to the file :

public function replaceItem($type, $name, $replace)
{
    $newArray = array();

    foreach($this->_data['items'] as $key => $value) {
        if($key == $type.'/'.$name) {
            $newArray[$type . '/'. $replace] = array(
            'type'   => $type,
            'name'   => $replace,
            'params' => $value['params'],
            'if'     => $value['if'],
            'cond'   => $value['cond']);
        } else {
            $newArray[$key] = $value;
        }
    }
    $this->_data['items'] = $newArray;
    return $this;
}

Now in your .XML layout file include a line like this :

jsprototype/prototype.jsonestepcheckout/prototype/prototype.js

The parameters are exactly as for removeItem BUT now the replace file will be injected into the list in the same place as the original file. It will also inherit the same param, if and cond values. Please use this code carefully as I've only just written and done basic tests on it!
