Can you just pass the desired stuff in?

//index.js:
var foo = 'some value';
module.exports.additional = require('./additional.js')(foo);
module.exports.extra = require('./extra.js')(foo);

//extra.js:
module.exports = function(foo){
  var extra = {};
  // some magic here
  var bar = foo; // where foo is foo from index.js
  extra.baz = function(req, res, next){};
  return extra;
};

//additional.js:
module.exports = function(foo){
  var additonal = {};
  additional.deadbeef = function(req, res, next){
    var qux = foo; // here foo is foo from index.js as well
    res.send(200, qux);
  };
  return additional;
};
