Can I use <OBJECT> for own classes?

[DROFNUD]

If I have defined a class in an ASP file, can I reference it as an object in my Global.asa?

eg.
I want a page class to be accessable anywhere without including it.

I usually do

<!--#include file=&quot;clsPage.asp&quot;-->

in each page, and

oPage = new clsPage

to create the object, but this particular class has to go to the database each time to initialise. If I could set up this class as an object in the Global.asa it would initialise just once.

I want to be able to do something like this... (but this doesn't work).

In GLOBAL.ASA

<object runat=&quot;server&quot; scope=&quot;application&quot; id=&quot;clsCust&quot;
progid=&quot;clsCust.ASP&quot;>

Is my syntax wrong? or can you just not do this?

ASP3.0 by the way...

Si...
