How to call functionality from the autoload.js file in the logic.js file of a widget

Content

Hi,

From the code block below, you can see I have quite a length function called validateForm. This sits across several widgets. If I have to make a change, I have to do it in several places. If it's in 100 widgets.... 100 changes

My question is whether I can utilise the autoload.js file to contain this function and call it from logic.js? How would I go about ding this if so?

Code Snippet

             RightNow.namespace('Custom.Widgets.planning_programming.Submit');
Custom.Widgets.planning_programming.Submit = RightNow.Widgets.FormSubmit.extend({
    overrides: {
		constructor: function(){
			this.parent();
			RightNow.Event.subscribe("on_before_ajax_request", this._onBeforeAjaxRequest1, this);
			var form = RightNow.Form.find('rn_QuestionSubmit', this.instanceID);
			form.on("submit", this.onValidate, this);
		}
	,
	validateForm: function(type, args){
			
			var elem = document.getElementById('rn_QuestionSubmit').elements;
			
			var a = [];
			var result = {};
			
			for(var i = 0; i < elem.length; i++)
			{
				var element = elem[i];
				var item = {};
				
				if (element.name === '' || element.name.indexOf(".") >= 0) { continue;}
				if (element.type === 'select-one') {
					item.text = element.options[element.selectedIndex].text;
				}
				
				item.group = element.dataset.group;
				item.name = element.name;
				
				if (element.type === 'radio' || element.type === 'checkbox') {
					if (element.checked) {
						item.value = element.value;
						if (result[element.name]) {
							var lastEntry = result[element.name].slice(-1)[0];
							if (lastEntry.group === item.group) {
								lastEntry.value += "," + element.value;
							} else {
								result[element.name].push(item);
							}
						}
