Paul Grime gave you a good example, so I'm just sharing some thoughts.

You don't define all the modules in each function, that's a huge waste of space. Although, even if you try to load a module multiple times, Dojo will only load it once anyway.

This is a simplified module from my latest project, with quite meaningless functionality:

//app module in 'my' folder

define(
[
    'app/elements',
    'dojo/query',
    'dojo/on',
    'dojo/fx',
    'dojo/_base/fx',
    'dojo/dom-construct',
    'dojo/_base/event'

    //and so on.....
], 

function(elements, q, on, fx, baseFx, constr, event)
{   
    return {

        init : function()
        {
            var node = q(elements.loading);
            this.removeNode(node);

            this.addEvents();
        },

        removeNode : function(node)
        {
            node.remove();
        },

        addEvents : function()
        {
            $(elements.buttons).on('click', function(e)
            {
                alert(q(e).attr('id') + ' was clicked!');
            });
        }   
    }
}

Then I get the module by using

define(
[
    'my/app',
], 

function (app) 
{
    app.init();
}
