(John, you should know better.) Tomcat does indeed go to great lengths to set up its own class loaders, and catalina.bat/.sh happens to, mostly, ignore CLASSPATH, but that does not mean the Tomcat does. In many ways, it simply can't. You can always change catalina.bat/.sh (or not use it at all if you so desire) to set the CLASSPATH environment variable, or pass the -classpath parameter on the java command line, and Tomcat will see those classes through the system class loader. It is not the recommended way to add classes to Tomcat, but it is still a viable, and rarely, a necessary option. Now, how this affects setting up the CLASSPATH for running Tomcat as a NT service, I haven't a clue. But, FYI and all that y'all.
