Prevent function access between 2 scripts

Question

Hello,
I have a understanding problem with InDesign JavaScript Engine.
I have two simple Scripts.
Script 1:
alert(random(100));
function random (max) {
    return Math.floor (Math.random() * max);
Script 2:
alert(random(100));
If I execute the Script 1 it is works fine.
If I execute the Script 2, it finds the function "random" from the Script 1.
How I can prevent this ?
I have tested #targetengine, #engine and #script.

If you execute Script1, then Script2, in the same persistent engine, the function random that you declare in Script1 is available in Script2.
What's the problem?
Do you need to use a different random function in Script2?
You may add a #targetengine 'Script1' directive in Script1, and a #targetengine 'Script2' directive in Script2, to separate each process. (In this case, random need to be defined in Script2).
If you use the same #targetengine, you can ‘overwrite’ random in Script2 by using something like:
this.random = function() {/*Script2 random stuff*/}
but that's probably not what you want...
Finally, what don't you use random1 in Script1 and random2 in Script2?
If you really need two distinct functions, create two distinct functions!
