+import-headjs-globals
+=====================
+
+Import globals from head.js and from any files that were imported by
+head.js (as far as we can correctly resolve the path).
+
+This rule is included in the test configurations.
+
+The following file import patterns are supported:
+
+- ``Services.scriptloader.loadSubScript(path)``
+- ``loader.loadSubScript(path)``
+- ``loadSubScript(path)``
+- ``loadHelperScript(path)``
+- ``import-globals-from path``
+
+If path does not exist because it is generated e.g.
+``testdir + "/somefile.js"`` we do our best to resolve it.
+
+The following patterns are supported:
+
+- ``Cu.import("resource://devtools/client/shared/widgets/ViewHelpers.jsm");``
+- ``loader.lazyRequireGetter(this, "name2"``
+- ``loader.lazyServiceGetter(this, "name3"``
+- ``XPCOMUtils.defineLazyModuleGetter(this, "setNamedTimeout", ...)``
+- ``loader.lazyGetter(this, "toolboxStrings"``
+- ``XPCOMUtils.defineLazyGetter(this, "clipboardHelper"``
+- ``ChromeUtils.defineLazyGetter(this, "clipboardHelper"``
