Wouldn't that be similar to auto_prepend_file in PHP? It seems that the only major difference is that PHP allows you to name the file whatever you want. auto_prepend_file is basically a global require. Seems to me like PHP would be more flexible if ASP is using a non-ASP text file to load global values. Granted, you might have to add a little magic to the prepended file. But, I consider that an advantage since with ASP you're likely just plain screwed if it doesn't do what you need. Also, PHP's auto prepend can load different files based on the include_path, if desired. Have a look at the auto_prepend_file directive at (first listed under general directives): http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.php3 Maybe I'm still missing something.
