But why would you present a solution that is more difficult to understand? Solutions should be reduced to the absolute minimum so that they are easy to understand. According to your argument I could provide the following solution to the question "how to add two numbers" and it would be ok? function mul(x, y) { return x * y; } function add(x, y) { return mul(x, 1) + mul(y, 1); }; add(41, 1)

This is unnecessarily complicated. At the very least you could write this.callback = function() { parent.callbackFunctionOfParent() } but I'm sure this could be simplified a lot more depending on what you are actually trying to achieve.
