Re: Fastcgi and persistence in sub modules

[MidLifeXis]

IMO, if your script only depends on the functionality provided by module A, then only load module A. If your script peeks behind the covers of Module A and loads Module B and Module C from within the script, you have now made your script dependent on modules A, B, and C, and not just A. If you change the implementation of module A to use modules D and E instead, you now have to maintain the script as well.

Only load what you explicitly depend on.

From a persistence standpoint, fastcgi will have the dependencies also loaded.
