I'd suggest that if you have an "instance" per deployment, an instance might be
represented via a directory and it might look something like this:
myinstance---/
|
|-- var (dir)
|
|-- configure.zcml
|
|-- app.ini
The configure.zcml might look something like this:
<configure ...>
<include package="repoze.bfg.includes"/>
<include package="mysoftware"/>
<include package="mypackage1"/>
<include package="mypackage2"/>
</configure>
It would include all the packages it needs, in other words.
The app.ini might include an "app" section that looked like so:
[app:myinstance]
use = egg:mysoftware#app
configure_zcml = %(here)s/configure.zcml
.. this would point at a paste app entry point something like:
rom repoze.bfg.configuration import Configurator
from mysoftware.models import get_root
def app(global_config, **settings):
""" This function returns a WSGI application.
It is usually called by the PasteDeploy framework during
``paster serve``.
"""
config = Configurator(root_factory=get_root, settings=settings)
config.begin()
zcml_file = settings.get('configure_zcml', 'configure.zcml')
config.load_zcml(zcml_file)
config.end()
return config.make_wsgi_app()
Then you'd invoke the application via "paster serve app.ini". Note that
**settings gets the settings from the app.ini app section.

There are about a million ways to slice this; this is one possible way.

Before trying to resolve anything using a thread local, BFG itself tries hard
to obtain a "local" version of the registry and request (via e.g.
"request.registry"). I think in practice this means that if you don't use any
thread locals in your app, you probably don't need to worry about it.
