Right. I have said before, I think there should be a stack or application 
global so that an application and it's substacks have access to it, but not 
foreign stacks. This is where things can go catawonkers if you are running two 
database enabled apps. It is recommended by RunRev to store your database id in 
a global. If I am in the habit of using the same variable name in all my 
database enabled stacks (which indeed I am), I will get into trouble, at least 
running them in the IDE. (Of course, because I use the method of opening the 
connection when I need it and closing it when I am done or idling, I don't have 
a problem.) 

The solution at present is to store the database ID in a stack property. Sure, 
I guess that will work. But it deviates from the recommended methodology is all 
I am saying.
