Ok, I understand. No, it shouldn't hurt anything. In fact, it should
work great, and self.Application should even work, assuming that the
dabo app using the library modules has defined an app object.

try:
{{{
import dabo
from dabo.lib.connParser import importConnections
con = dabo.db.dConnection(importConnections("my.cnxml"))
print con
