Quick dirty hack for Node.js like modules with package.json and node_module directory for Titanium

app.js

require('require_patch')(this);

/**
 * Loads "myModule" from your applications "Resources/titan_modules" directory if package.json is present.
 * If "main" is set in package.json module will be loaded from that file else defaults to "index.js"
 */
var myModule = require('myModule');

myModule.someFunction();

package.json
