A super simple module system for browsers. Assumes all source files are concatenated and in browser.

module.js

define.defs = {};
define.modules = {};
function define(name, fn) {
  define.defs[name] = fn;
}
function require(name) {
  if (define.modules.hasOwnProperty(name)) return define.modules[name];
  if (define.defs.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
    var fn = define.defs[name];
    define.defs[name] = function () { throw new Error("Circular Dependency"); };
    return define.modules[name] = fn();
  }
  throw new Error("Module not found: " + name);
}

sampleusage.js

define('foo', function () {
  return 42;
});
define('mymod', function () {
  return {
    stuff: "goes here",
    "and here": require('foo')
  };
});

var MyMod = require('mymod');

I did the testing so that definition order didn't matter, but after using this for a day, I think you're right.

I really like this idea.
It's even cooler that node.js added define for defining moduels!

With this module in the browser, we can use the same require and define for modules both in node.js and in the browser.
