First of all, from the standpoint of JavaScript code, there are no "different files". You include more then one file in HTML, and they are processed in the order they are included, as if it was one single file. So, the question about "different files" simply makes no sense. If your object is global, it will be global object in all files, the same one.

At the same time, using global objects is a pretty bad idea. You should better think at how to make more objects as local as possible, and how to pass them in local contexts, which can be done using function argument, including "this".
