see, rather than using a prefuseaction in a circuit what I tend to do is to call a globalpreprocess fuseaction in fusebox.xml.cfm that calls a initialise (initialize for you americans) fuseaction, this in turn checks to see if the application is initialised and if not then calls a setup fuseaction which instantiates the CFCs into the shared scope wrapped in a lock.
I believe Sean also does this in his BlogCFC wrapper and seems the neatest and cleanest way to do this And don't forget now with 4.1 you don't need to use the myGlobals plugin, just put a file fusebox.init.cfm in the application root and it will be included in the fusebox request. john.
