Then, this would mean that whenever I will try to initialize LXFramework.oRequest to something, no matter the value, it will always get the definition from the Get as you suggested.

Basically, I guess then the global.asax BeginRequest() event could be as simple as:

    Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        LXFramework.BeginRequest()
    End Sub

assuming I would put the required initialization in the LXFramework.BeginRequest() method instead.
