phantom.create() and then the createPage() are async. That means that by
the time the interpreter gets to the module.exports section, your _page is
stil not bound. It only fired a phantom.create, and it's still waiting for
its callback and phantom.createPage callback. You could probably add a
console.log('Creating exports') just above creating module.exports and I
bet that one would be shown before the other two log lines.
Now, you would have to defer creating the exports, or at least put page in
something like `var locals = {page: <placeholder>}`, and then calling it as
locals.page.open() later. I think something like that would work.
