I haven't seen this Globals.php but it sounds something similar to what I use myself. To simplify access to those resources I created a wrapper around Zend_Registry, which handles lazy loading and returns preconfigured components. So all it takes is one line Foo::db()->fetchAll(...) to run some sql. And this works across multiple applications, web scripts and cron jobs. I think it's pretty good solution and it proved itself in many applications I built.
