Generally that is what I do. I preface the names with g so I know they are global.

Rather than ..

_application.addproperty("MAXRXS") (one command per property)

I use

public giMAXRXS (and can declare several variables in one command)

public variables have global scope. _application properties have application scope.

I'm lazy - I like less typing. The OOP way is elegant but not necessarily better IMO.
