I was going to reply to your previous message saying "look only at 
jsapi.h" and the (lagging, but still useful) API docs.

Do you need another object that's prototyped by the first one, in which 
the file's contents were evaluated?  If not, just use JS_DefineProperty 
instead of JS_DefineObject (which is like JS_NewObject followed by 
JS_DefineProperty).
