Peter, Not helpful at all. Suggesting a major version bump after my statement and referencing same method as I. Hopefully this response is not indicative.
For anyone following later; My solution:
Bring in jQuery 1.8.2 with the noConflict method invoked and true flag to reset original jQuery reference to $ (instead of one coming in from 1.8.2).
window.jQuery182 = jQuery.noConflict(true);
Wrap jqxGrid and all deps in a closure passing the jQuery182 variable in as a argument $ to be used by all library definitions inside the internal scope.
(function($){
})(jQuery182)
I can now inject the jQuery182 into my own widgets closure, or access them at will with jQuery182(“”).jqxGrid({ })
