What do you think of this adjustment in the global.asax?

<%@ Application Language="VB" %>

<object id="LXFrameworkGlobal" runat="server" class="Framework.Framework.App" scope="Application" />

<script runat=server>
    Private LXFramework As Framework.Framework.App = LXFrameworkGlobal
    
    Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        LXFrameworkGlobal.nApplicationMode = 3
        LXFrameworkGlobal.oServer = Server
        LXFrameworkGlobal.Initialize()
    End Sub

    Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        LXFramework.oRequest = Request
        LXFramework.oResponse = Response
        LXFramework.oServer = Server
        LXFramework.BeginRequest()
    End Sub
    
    Sub Application_EndRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        LXFramework.EndRequest()
        LXFramework.oResponse.Write(LXFramework.GetJavascriptMessage)
    End Sub

    Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        LXFramework.ErrorSetup()
    End Sub

    Sub Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim loContext As Object = Context.Handler
        Dim loType As Object = loContext.GetType()
        Dim lcType As String = loType.ToString

        ' .vb and .config not accepted
        If lcType = "System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" Then
            Response.Redirect("Default.aspx")
        End If
        
        Dim loPage As System.Web.UI.Page = Context.Handler
        LXFramework.oPage = loPage
    End Sub
   
</script>

Basically, on the first hit a global application object is now instantiated under the name LXFrameworkGlobal. Also, on the first hit, the event Application_Start() will make use of it.

But, on all other hits, I am creating a private property of that global application object and use that instead. As this is private, this could work. What do you think?
