Thanks chaps, that's what I was looking for. Luckily I came across an easier solution to the underlying problem (i.e. using session and reload middleware in ring): http://groups.google.com/group/ring-clojure/browse_thread/thread/a0dffa86be0896ff#
basically, using defonce allows me to create memory storage that persists across namespace reloads. Thanks again.
