[TIMOB-10167] MobileWeb: Variable defined in root window context is not accessible by included javascript file

Please see my Q&A entry: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/140151/cant-access-global-var-tifrom-included-function

In app.js: ###

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ url: "app2.js", }); win.open();

In app2.js: ###

var steps = ['on', 'off']; Ti.include('test.js');

In test.js: ###

alert(steps[0]); This fails. But if I were to move the steps definition to app.js, it works. The 2.1.0 API docs state: "The included JavaScript is interpreted in the current root execution context -- that is, either app.js or in the root context of a window opened with the url property." So I assume the above should work; i.e. I should be able to define a global variable in the Windows context (app2.js) and have access to it from the included file (test.js) - but it seems to only work if I define the variable in app.js ONLY.
