I'm not sure what you're after. I think a gave an example of something
like this for Jeff a while ago
(http://lists.solarphp.com/pipermail/solar-talk/2006-July/000982.html).

If things start to get messy I think you should just extend some base
app and instantiate your models there and use them in every app.

Could you give a better or a more precise example of your "problem" :-).
