I have seen it set in the init and set to the variables scope. and then
called from individual functions.
So if the passed object is local to *only one* function should I pass it to
just that one function?
Or if it used multiple times in the object I should store it as part of the
object (in the init function) in the variables scope so it can be avalible
to multiple functions.
Does that sound right... make sense?
Thanx
