Please stop using non-public-API header files.  There is absolutely no 
reason to do so, and you're not using the private header files well in 
any event.

Scope chain linkage is via the parent slot (__parent__ in the extended 
language, JS_GetParent and JS_SetParent APIs, also the fourth argument 
to JS_NewObject, etc.).

All you need is the public jsapi.h header, and correct usage of 
JS_NewObject, JS_ConstructObject, JS_SetParent, etc.
