[Javascript] Function scope question

[Robert Pollard]

Hello Dave,

Would you mind sending an example of what you are talking about?  How 
do you "include the file with function definitions into the second 
file?"  I don't believe I've seen this syntax.  What's interesting is 
one file can see a function from the other but not the other way 
around.  Maybe it's syntax and the error is seeing the function but 
something else is causing problems.

Thanks for the response,

Robert
