[jQuery] Plugin and child plugins

[jQuery] Plugin and child plugins


As I'm developing a plugin, I'm finding that I need to modularize some
of my functions into jQuery plugins as well. The problem is that I
don't want these "child plugins" to be added directly to the jQuery
namespace in order to reduce clutter and possible collisions at that
point.
As an example, I have my main plugin defined at the
"jQuery.fn.myMainPlugin" namespace. I have a helper plugin that I am
currently naming "jQuery.fn.helper". I would rather refer to it as
"jquery.fn.myMainPlugin.helper", but that, of course, doesn't work.
Does jQuery support some king of child namespace off the plugin's?
