Typescript: how to compile ts files with imported modules?

I'm from an Actionscript background. In Actionscript, if the main.as class import files from classA.as and classB.as then the compilation will only include main/classA/classB not classC codes.

I found it's harder to achieve with typescript. I've been developing re-useable javascript libraries along many projects. I have a folder structure of

scripts/com/libraries/service
scripts/com/libraries/components  
scripts/com/projectA/files (my current project goes here)

In my main ts class, I have imported modules from /service but not /components. Is there a way I can compile only 'projectA' and 'service' codes and concat them into a big app.js file? (to achieve this i'm now manually added all classes needed in a gruntfile then concat them but I hope there's a smarter way!)

Thanks, Mars

I suppose you are using AMD? If so you can specify your main application entry point inside projectA to r.js ------- r.js is clever enough to only include files you actually reference using dependency tracing
