Is it better to roll-in your closing costs or get a 2nd mortgage to cover them?

Cookie On My Mind asked:
We just closed on our townhome this past Friday. We ended up with less money than we had hoped for because the closing costs were so high. We’re due to close on our new single family home August 10th and those closing costs are going to be higher than we planned for too! Anyway, we’re going to be about $4,000 short on closing costs for the new house. Is it better to roll it in to the mortgage or get a 2nd mortgage on top of the first? Not sure how this works. Thanks.
