I usually would just create a single DIO object in the global namespace if it didn't already exist. Something like:
if {[info commands ::DIO] eq ""} { ## Create ::DIO object } I did that as part of the initialization of my code. Since the created connection exists in the global namespace, it doesn't get deleted when the ::request namespace is destroyed, so it sticks around between invocations.
