Same basemap for all scripts

GloriaForthun1

I have multiple scripts that call for a basemap and I end up having a lot of basemaps in my application.  But if I take away a line of code  such as:
function init() {
        var startExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent(-83.5528, 31.7627, -77.3874, 35.5635, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4326}) );
   map = new esri.Map("mapDiv", { extent: startExtent });
        var streetMap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer");
   map.addLayer(streetMap);

Or:
map = new esri.Map("map",{
         basemap:"streets",
            center:[-81.045,33.998],
            zoom:7,
            sliderStyle:"small"
      });    

Then the script doesn't work.  But if I leave them in, then I have multiple maps in my application.  I think what I need to know is how do I get a basemap and keep it for use in for all the other scripts?   

Thanks.

gloria,
i'm not sure if your own scripts were located somewhere different with respect to your html file on your own web server, but i was able to see a map in your application after:

1. creating another folder inside the application folder called 'scripts' and moving the .js files inside:
yourfolder/test 12.html
yourfolder/scripts/ToolsGeoRoute.js
2. modifying the paths in 'test 12.html' to acknowledge this change and point to the files in a scripts folder one level deeper than where the .html file is

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/ToolsGeoRoute.js"></script>

additionally, i commented out the map initialization inside ToolsGeoRoute.js, because you are already creating a map in toggle.js

function init() {
    /*map = new esri.Map("map", {
        extent: new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-83.5528,"ymin":31.7627,"xmax":-77.3874,"ymax":35.5635,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}})  
    });*/

hope that helps!
