One of my colleagues (thanks Helen!) points out that this was a bug in TestComplete 8 and fixed in TestComplete 9. Sure enough, it fails for me when I try it in TestComplete 8. No known workaround.
Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it seems you are trying to set the property "city" for object "item" without first defining that property.
function main()
{
var item = {};
item.sku = "11111";
item.description = "222222";
item.city = ""; //added
item.state = ""; //added
item.location = "3333"; //moved
/*
item has now been fully defined
set ItemDef project variable as object item
*/
Project.Variables.ItemDef = item;
Project.Variables.ItemDef.city = "4444";
var item2 = Project.Variables.ItemDef;
item2.state = "5555";
}
Ryan - Javascript allows you to add properties dynamically

Thanks for the definitive answer!
TestComplete does not use Javascript it uses JScript.
I thought perhaps TestComplete did not allow you to dynamically change the object after it was declared, but I tested this and it seems to work for me. Your code works as well. Possibly a bug in the version you're on as previously suggested.
