Assuming you now have something along the lines of:

function Object1() {
     this.Var = 0;
     this.MyOtherFunc = MyOtherFunc;
}

You could change it to:
function Object1() {
     this.Var = 0;
     this.MyOtherFunc = function() {
          Var = SomeGlobalVar * 2;
     }
}

That way the function is defined directly in the object, and you don't 
need to worry about name collisions (or doing something like function 
Object1_MyOtherFunc()).

That's how I see it anyway.
