All I want to do is create fixtures for my application doing:

1. Retrive an "profile" from a mongo db collection
2. Create a new empty object object and fill it with some data from the 
above profile
3. "export" the object, in this case a "Message"


The module that needs a Message instance is a library called 
'pow-mongoose-fixtures'. It searches a "fixtures" folder and creates 
fixures using alle the files it finds in this folder provided each of these 
files export a Mongoose instance. My problem is just that the "Message" 
instance that I am created depends on the results of a profile instance.


Was this a bit clearer? How can I create an Instance and delay passing it 
to exports? 

Thanks
