I'm trying to be good, I really am, but I can't see how to do it :)

Any advice on how to not use a global here would be greatly appreciated. Let's call the global G.

Function A 
  Builds G by AJAX

Function B
  Uses G

Function C
  Calls B
  Called by numerous event handlers attached to DOM elements (type 1)

Function D
  Calls B
  Called by numerous event handlers attached to DOM elements (type 2)

I can't see how I can get around using a global here. The DOM elements (types 1 & 2) are created in other functions (E&F) which are unconnected with A. I don't want to add G to each event handler (because it's large and there's lots of these event handlers), and doing so would require the same kind of solution as I'm seeking here (i.e., getting G to E&F).

The global G, BTW, is an array that is necessary to build other elements as they, in turn, are built by AJAX.

I'm not convinced that a singleton is real solution, either.

Thanks.
