No difference.  
I found another weirdo, here’s bigger snippet:

```
import PostModel from 'discourse/models/post';
import { withPluginApi } from 'discourse/lib/plugin-api';
import { slot, loadGoogle } from '../lib/gpt';
import TopicView from 'discourse/views/topic';
// here TopicView is defined
export default {
  name: 'initialize-ad-plugin',
  initialize(container) {
    PostModel.reopen({
    ...
    })
    ...
    // but here TopicView is not defined
    ...
  }
}

```

TopicView is accessible out of anonymous object, but not inside it. But i don’t understand why there’s no problem with PostModel?
