The answer is possible.
You can treat scripts as parent and child.

see http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/scopes.html
#I usually use ImporterTopLevel as a top level parent.
#because that implements importPackage(),importClass() method.
#It's useful.

Define constant variables or functions in parent scope,
you can make child scriptableObject as follows.

in a certain method:
Context cx = Context.enter();
Scriptable parent = new ImporterTopLevel(cx);
:
in a other method:
Context cx = Context.enter();
Scriptable scope=cx.initStandardObject(parent);

the first cx and second cx is same object until their method is in 
the same thread.

Tomohiro.
