The fact that you used to be able to attach to the 'this' object was
definitely just a coincidence. I'm fairly surprised it even worked
consistently for you.

That said, it looks like you're wanting to check out the
require("path.to.stuff") method that's now available for show and
list. This will let you define arbitrary JS in your _design doc and
import it in your show/list functions.

HTH,
Paul Davis
