No; they're separate instances. Global registries are convenient, as you can access them from anywhere and not have to worry about passing them in to your objects. However, they make testing difficult, as it's harder to determine what you true dependencies are, and when and how to set them. For this reason, we're using a non-static registry in Zend_Application. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | [email protected] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
