Require

gistfile1.js

// Require works differently as you are bringing in methods and other things attached
// to it's own controller:
// index.xml
<Window id="win1">
  <Require src="myThing" id="myThing" /> 
</Window>

// index.js controller
$.win1
$.myThing.loginButton
$.myThing.toggleScreen();

// myThing view:
<View id="mySnippet">
	<Label />
	<Button id="loginButton" />
</View>

// myThing controller
// normal access:
$.loginButton
$.mySnippet
// custom methods etc:
$.toggleScreen = function() {};
$.isSelected = false;



// This way you can also do things like have difference instances:

   <Window id="win1">
      <Require src="myThing" id="myThing" />
      <Require src="myThing" id="anotherThing" />
      <Require src="myThing" id="andAnotherThing" />
      <Require src="myThing" id="thing" />
   </Window>

    // Accessed:
   $.myThing.toggleScreen();
   $.anotherThing.toggleScreen();
   $.andAnotherThing.toggleScreen();
   $.thing.toggleScreen();
