Accessing functions in object within child functions

Question

I feel really dumb asking this question, but I can't find a decent answer. I have an object of functions like so.

var methods = {
    init : function(){},
    one : function(){},
    two : function(){}
};

Let's say in function one I wanted to access function two. I know that I could do methods.two() and access it that way, but is there a a different way to do it, so I'm not referencing it from the outside, because that will get confusing with other parts of my code quickly.

this.two() should work

Use this operator as a reference to the object instance:

var methods = {
    init : function(){ console.log('In INIT'); },
    one : function(){ console.log('In ONE');
                      this.two();
                    },
    two : function(){ console.log('In TWO');}
};

methods.one();
