Yes, it is implemented in Rhino.

I assume you mean scope, not context, right? In Rhino instances of 
Script use the top scope of the scope at then moment of script call so 
script code can assume it has access to top or global variables. For 
example, if you execute the following in Rhino shell:

var a = 1;

function f()
{
	var a = 2;
	var s = Script("a = 0");
	s();
	print(a);
}

f();
print(a);

you should get
2
0
since code executed via s() does not have access to function scope.
