// for older, traditional "browser globals" scripts that do not use 
// define() to declare the dependencies and set a module value.

    //Remember: only use shim config for non-AMD scripts,
    //scripts that do not already call define(). The shim
    //config will not work correctly if used on AMD scripts,
    //in particular, the exports and init config will not
    //be triggered, and the deps config will be confusing
    //for those cases.
    shim: {
        'backbone': {
            //These script dependencies should be loaded before loading
            //backbone.js

                //Using a function allows you to call noConflict for
                //libraries that support it, and do other cleanup.
                //However, plugins for those libraries may still want
                //a global. "this" for the function will be the global
                //object. The dependencies will be passed in as
                //function arguments. If this function returns a value,
                //then that value is used as the module export value
                //instead of the object found via the 'exports' string.
                //Note: jQuery registers as an AMD module via define(),
                //so this will not work for jQuery. See notes section
                //below for an approach for jQuery.

//Then, later in a separate file, call it 'MyModel.js', a module is
//defined, specifying 'backbone' as a dependency. RequireJS will use
//the shim config to properly load 'backbone' and give a local
//reference to this module. The global Backbone will still exist on
//the page too.
