I was going to suggest making a module that had all your static data in it and just require it in to use. Added benefit of being able to use it in other design doc functions that support CommonJS modules and also using it in node.js if you ever needed to.
Sounds like you are doing something similar but navigating the object path of the design document instead of a require() call.
