Here’s what I ran in firebug using dojo 1.0.2 off of the AOL CDN:

dojo.declare(”Person”, null, {
constructor: function(name, petName) {
this.name = name;
this.getPrivateName = function() {
return petName;
}
},
getName: function() {
return this.name;
},
getLocation: function() {
return location;
}
});

person1 = new Person(”Mr. First Person”, “cuddles”);

function init() {
var location = “In the init function”;
console.log(”init: “, location );
window.locationGetter1 = function() { return location; };
window.locationGetter2 = dojo.hitch(person1, person1.getLocation);
console.log( “init:”, locationGetter2() );
}
init();
console.log( location );
console.log( locationGetter1() );
console.log(locationGetter2());
