require() issue - TypeError - newbie question

[dali]

I have a

   require('goog.editor.SeamlessField');

statement at the top of my js file.

When I write

   var test = goog.editor.SeamlessField;

further below in the file, I get a 

   TypeError: goog.editor is undefined

(this is not compiled).

However, when I write the var test... statement inside a document.ready function, it works.

Where is the issue here? Is the require() statement not supposed to ensure I can use the Field anywhere in my js doc and not have to wait for document ready?

Thanks!!

Make sure you have

<script type="text/javascript" src="../closure-library/closure/goog/base.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deps.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">goog.require('mynamespace.start');</script>

Where deps.js is generated by depswriter and mynamespace.start is the namespace of your page.  Then at the bottom of body put

<script type="text/javascript">mynamespace.start();</script>

The 'hello world' docs talk about this in pretty good detail:

Thanks to both of you!

I believe I've fallen into the trap:

Note: Do not put your goog.require() statements in the same script tag as the entry point to code that uses the goog.required functions or classes

On deps.js:

https://developers.google.com/closure/library/docs/calcdeps

says it's deprecated.

I've tried closurebuilder but am encountering a (documentation?) issue. I'll open a new topic for this to keep it clean.
