Error of the back button if load cordova.js in iframe

Hi,

I’ve met a problem of cordova using ionic. I want to create a multi-page application in android, but because of a technical problem, I can’t use ion-nav in my application. I used iframe to include different pages. I created a base page in index.html, and used iframe to turn to other pages. But when I included the lib cordova.js in index.html and the pages in iframe, I had a error when I click the back button:

Uncaught Error: Java exception was raised during method invocation cordova.js:927
androidExec cordova.js:927
module.exports.exitApp cordova.js:1628
(anonymous function) ionic.bundle.js:2347
ionic.Platform.ready ionic.bundle.js:2117
ionic.Platform.exitApp ionic.bundle.js:2346
(anonymous function) app.js:13
self.hardwareBackButtonClick ionic.bundle.js:43931
Channel.fire cordova.js:806
(anonymous function) cordova.js:224

And the back button cannot work.
When I delete the lib in iframe, it works well. It seems like we cannot include cordova.js two times both in index.html and in the iframe pages. But we can’t use cordova features in iframe page if we don’t add it.

Here is my code:
index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

            <iframe id="app" width="100%" height="90%" src="{{src}}"></iframe>

              </li>
          </ul>
          </ion-content>
        </ion-side-menu>
      </ion-side-menus>  
  </body>
</html>

app.js: the controller of page index.html

    angular.module('appMain', ['ionic'])
    
    .run(function($ionicPlatform) {
      document.addEventListener('backbutton', function(event){
        $ionicPlatform.registerBackButtonAction(function(e){
              if(true){
                 e.preventDefault();
                 ionic.Platform.exitApp();
             }
             else {
                 navigator.app.backHistory()
             }
          }, 100);
      });
    })

.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $ionicSideMenuDelegate) {

  var oneUrl = "templates/poc1.html";

  $scope.init = function(){
    $scope.src = oneUrl;
  };

  $scope.toggleLeft = function() {
    $ionicSideMenuDelegate.toggleLeft();
  };

  $scope.toOne = function(){
    $ionicSideMenuDelegate.toggleLeft();
    $scope.src = oneUrl;
  }

})

poc1.html: in iframe of index, and aime to add a tab into the page

tab.js: controller of poc1.html

angular.module('tabApp', ['ionic'])

.config(['$ionicConfigProvider', function($ionicConfigProvider) {

	$ionicConfigProvider.tabs.position('bottom'); //other values: top

}])

.controller('poc1Ctrl', function($scope, $ionicTabsDelegate) {
