Javascript is a wild language which need to be tamed.
Here are some js pattern which I think best pattern to tackle down the scoping and closure issue which called (Module Pattern)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3722820/examples-of-practical-javascript-object-oriented-design-patterns

Recently I build a framework called SiteUI which follows this pattern and give you protection and flexibility.

SiteUI.BaseUI = function (options)
{
//default options
var defaultsOpt = {
//set it to false otherwise, when you disable from the ajax, it when postback it will enable all your control
//but if you have other reason you can do so.
disableAllButtonOnSubmit: false,
ajaxProcessMessage: "Processing..."
};

var options = $.extend(defaultsOpt, options);


//optional value - to disable all button on submit or not
var disableAllButtonOnSubmit = options.disableAllButtonOnSubmit;
var setDisableAllButtonOnSubmit = function (value)
{
disableAllButtonOnSubmit = value;
}

var ajaxProcessMessage = options.ajaxProcessMessage;
var setAjaxProcessMessage = function (value)
{
ajaxProcessMessage = value;
}

//Shopping Cart Control

var isHideLoadingBeforePostbackTemporary = false;

isHideLoadingBeforePostbackTemporary = true;
}
};

}
};
