Thanks Howard, that's making a lot of sense. However my initial though was about injecting Clojure globals (specifically, one global containing service registry) during the call to "require" IFn. I still couldn't find any ways to manipulate initial Clojure environment, although there are obvious workarounds (for example I could have a specific function inside Clojure namespace that could be used to inject necessary objects using mutable globals). I'm still looking for more concise and accurate way to do that.
