//make something available to the file from within a function in the file
//make sure it doesn't affect what's available in files that require this one

var color1 = "red";
var color2 = "orange";
//and we want to set two more colors, using the function below

function setColors() {

	var extraColors = {color3:"yellow", color4:"green"};

	for (color in extraColors) {
		//module[color] = extraColors[color];//module doesn't work!
		global[color] = extraColors[color];//global works, but i hope it doesn't mess up files that require this one
	}
}
setColors();

//now let's see what worked
console.log("color1 is " + color1);
console.log("color2 is " + color2);
console.log("color3 is " + color3);
console.log("color4 is " + color4);
