if (!settings.basePath) {
  (function (name) {
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');

    for (var i = scripts.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
      var src = scripts[i].src;
      var l = src.length;
      var length = name.length;
      if (src.substr(l - length) == name) {
        // set a global propery here
        settings.basePath = src.substr(0, l - length);

      }
    }
  })('myfile.js');
}

log(settings.basePath);
