If it's your own file, you don't need to include it in the bundle. If it's on a CDN, you should include it in the bundle. This has a couple of advantages:
- In development, the local file will be used. This allows you to debug into the js file if needed
- At runtime, the minified version of the file is pulled from the CDN
