Subj : obtaining a parent value in javascript object notation

var obj = {
     "prop1":"somevalue",
     "prop2":"another value",
     "prop3":{
           "prop4":prop1        // prop1 is undefined here
    }
}

in the above object, prop4's value is undefined.   likewise, it is undefined
if the value is obj.prop1.

Is there any way to get values from the outer object (obj) and use a value
in the inner object (prop3) ?
