[jQuery] Re: Best practices: Wait to reference objects? Classes like PHP? How do you stay organized with little overhead?

Hmmm, also, I suppose I could do the below when setting-up my
variables:

var $parentObj = $('#parentContianer');
if($parentObj.length > 0) {
        // $parentObj exists, cache child objects:
        var $childObj1 = $('#childEle1');
        var $childObj2 = $('#childEle2');
        var $childObj3 = $('#childEle3');
        var $childObj4 = $('#childEle4');
        var $childObj5 = $('#childEle5');
        var $childObj6 = $('#childEle6');
}

Is that an acceptable or weird way to do it?
