Just for reference, there is also quite a long post over at MooForum discussing chaining http://www.mooforum.net/help12/chain-guide-t1347.html (erm... written by me!)

Chain has 2 main methods and you have to use both in order for it to do anything:

chain - pushes a function onto the stack
callChain - calls the next function on the stack

so if you want to do:

this.fn1().chain(this.fn2.bind(this));

then fn1 has to have this in it:

fn1: function(){
  ...some logic that you want to execute
  this.callChain();
  return this;
}

I'm not sure whether that would work.

the following code actually does work but I hopped there is an easier
way to do it:

/*

               if (this.options.preload) {
                       var callback = new Chain();
                       this._preload(callback);
                       callback.chain (
                               function() {
                                       this.setUp();
                               }.bind(this)
                       )
               } else {
                       this.setUp();
               }*/
