	Remember that functions are variables. ie if you nest a function on a render event, each loop that function is re-created again. The code in the function may not run, but the function variable is re-created every time. This has nothing to do with being local. Functions are only local if you specify, otherwise they are global. You can still nest them, just do an "if not" check to see if they have been created yet. This can help you keep the code in order instead of jumping all over the place.
