to include script files first put you'r script in Scripts directory then simply try following

Script.Include("jquery-1.8.0.min.js");

by the way , this is not the correct way of including Jquery library in your theme.Jquery have been registered as a global resource by Orhard.jQuery module thus to include jquery try this :

Script.Require("jQuery");

this will ensure that jQuery included only once.but if you insist in putting script files in js directory then you can try this trick.

Script.Include("../js/yourscript.js");

don't forget to put a copy of web.config (one exist in Scripts directory) file in your js directory unless you'r script file will never been detected.

edit :

making change to ThemeMachine is not a good habit.try creating your own theme based onThemeMachine by means of orchard mand line .this is the way to go :

codegen theme <theme-name> [/CreateProject:true|false][/IncludeInSolution:true|false][/BasedOn:<theme-name>]  

for example :

codegen theme MyTheme /CreateProject:true /IncludeInSolution:true /BasedOn :TheThemeMachine

orchard mand line is an exe file resides in /bin directory(note that you must copy this file to Orchard.Web directory before executing it). this will create Scripts and Styles directory automatically.
