Probably. However, you'll have to global($connection_obj) in each function to allow access to that. I think newer versions of PHP have an auto registering global namespace, however, and you may not need that global() call anymore.
Why would you want to? I believe the PHP/Zend engine has pooling capabilities, so it's not really any overhead to "reconnect." If no pooling is available, then you limit yourself (and your webserver) to a single connection. (Will kill your performance.) HTH.
