In the real example,
You should probably use javascript or jQuery to accomplish this
you can achieve the objective by reversing the order and adding a couple of words to emphasise the difference:
You should probably use jQuery or just plain JavaScript to accomplish this.
Thus jQuery implies JavaScript; you could have JavaScript without jQuery; or neither.

Can/May I serve you some fish with or without chips?
UPDATE: Would of course have been lovely to have seen the original reason for the question since I have A LOT more experience with JavaScript/jQuery than fish&chips
Since JavaScript is built-in whatever device that could run jQuery, the sentence Andrew wrote, is understandable by anyone versed in the art.
jQuery is a JavaScript library so the or relates only to plain JavaScript or vanilla.js

You could describe this process as an incremental choice. You are making a base choice (whether or not to use javascript) and then a choice about whether to add a supplement (whether or not to add jQuery to the use of javascript).
The implication is that you cannot make the second choice unless you affirmatively make the first choice.
