Yes, node handles transitive dependencies via unfinished objects, much
like the old CommonJS Modules/1.0 style.

However, it's generally better to return a single thing from a module
if possible, rather than a bunch of stuff on an object.  We use
`module.exports` to accomplish that, and it's mostly good, but it
doesn't handle cycles well.
