Probably I am a little late for this thread :) but I would like to say that I have in my app framework a custom object called *current*, which I add to app object especially for exchanging purposes. So it is filled with different properties, and all I do - get necessary value like
oApp.oCurrent.myProperty
Of course, this approach could be extended, I just used the idea from Tasmanian Traders which has oApp.oEnvironment. I prefer not to fill oApp with everything.

Hope it helps too.
