This is _not_ a variable declaration.  A variable declaration starts with

  var

followed by the variable identifier, and an optional initialization part.  

You are attempting to add a property named “game” to an object, which, by 
contrast to a variable declaration, can fail even if syntactically correct.  

For example, if there is an element with name or ID “abc” in your document, 
and you are using IE/MSHTML, this assignment *will* fail because the global 
object or another object before it in the scope chain already has a non-
writable property of that name that refers to the corresponding object.

OK.

Client-side script resources never stand alone.  There is always a runtime 
environment that uses them.  Usually the runtime environment is a Web 
browser, and separate files are used in HTML with the “script” element.  
Where *exactly* are your “script” elements?

Values are returned by functions.  Where is your function?

Please RTFM and STFW.  This is neither Programming 101 nor a guessing game.

That is “_HTML document_ that includes the script resource 2.js”.

So, assuming the simple assignment in 1.js worked at all, you have to find 
out which code in 2.js changes the value defined in 1.js.  It is impossible 
to say without your posting the relevant code.  Use a debugger.

Please do not use the borken Google Groups for posting; use a newsreader.  
And please get a real name.
