WOW.... thank you so much everyone for your help, comments and feedback.
Now I know for a fact where to go whenever I have a question about
Node.js. :)
My problem had to do with how I was packaging my code for my Node.js
application. Essentially, I was creating a single "application.js" file,
but the contents would be:
<entry.js>
<dependency.js>
entry.js was referencing elements in dependency.js, but since dependency.js
was being emitted *after* entry.js, I was getting a ReferenceError at
runtime. By putting my entry.js in a setTimeout (with 0ms), I was able to
work around this problem. setTimeout has always seemed like a hack to me,
so I try to avoid it at all costs, but here it seems like a good use of it.
Anyways, I was able to address my problem. Thanks again all for your help!
