Thank you for the replies,
Just to be sure I understand you, are you suggesting doing something like 
the following instead?

>>default.py
def entry_point()
    db = get_db()
    # use database

>>db.py
from gluon.packages.dal.pydal import DAL, Field

def get_db()
    db = DAL("sqlite://storage.sqlite")
    db.define_table(
        "test",
        Field("myid", default=DEFAULT_VALUE, length=15),
        Field("name", default=DEFAULT_VALUE, length=15),
        Field("code", default=DEFAULT_VALUE, length=2),
     )
     return db
