Just to be clear, there is no global or cross-application context. Entries in CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml are merged with the application's context.xml and become part of the application's context configuration. This means that if you define a resource in CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml and you have 20 contexts you will get 20 instances of that resource - one for each context.
