doubts about globals, seeking advise...

Hi folks,
Can two stacks share globals? Like that, I've got a splashscreen stack
and a app stack, can I open a database connection in the splash screen
stack, put the ID in a global and then call DB Methods in the app
stack? It's like that, i've got a running app, it works, but I decided
to add a standard splash screen (thats reused many times, so it's got
it's own stack), I decided that the splash screen should be the
mainstack (thats its setting in the distribution builder) since I want
it to appear first. I used to open and close the DB Connections in the
openStack and closeStack handlers of the app stack, but when I build
the distribution (including all libs and stuff), the DB funcs start
shouting about invalid id, I think that's happening because my global
vars are missing... I tried another approach opening and closing
connections in splashscreen, writing IDs to custom props and reading
them from the other stack, but that's just ugly. Anyone here got two
cents to spare on advise? How should I proceed? Should my splashscreen
stack just call the other stack openStack handler and pray?
Cheers, happy 2004
