Javascript single var pattern. Am I overloading it?

Question

I read in the book of Stoyan Stefanov about one var template. It is also good JSLint.

But I noticed in my code that I can overload this template. It looks like my whole .js file, a complete script, is just one big var.

For instance:

$(function(){ 

var
    some_var1   = 'some_value',
    some_var2   = { /* some other value */},

    // more and more vars 

    tiny_fun    = function(){ /* some tiny helper function */ },
    tiny_fun2   = function(){ /* another tiny helper function */},

    // more tiny functions

    Constructor1    = function(){ /* Some Constructor */ },
    Constructor2    = function(){ /* Another Constructor */ },

    script_body     = (function(){

        // main script - 'script body'

        var c1 = new Constructor1();
        c1.some_method();

        // and other client code            
    })(); //: script_body
});

This is bad? maybe I misunderstood this single-var pattern and should use it only for variables - to prevent the use of global variables?

If you are only grouping private access elements, there is no problem. Remember that you cannot declare public access items with var(global scope is an exception).
