Only if the object is not contained and the application object cannot be found, it should take on a set of defaults, or instanciate an application object that knows how to establish defaults.

Dear Erik!

My app used the first way you mentioned. My objects used the properties of main application object. I thought it is not compatible with Encapsulation because an object is depending on an other object. (Business objects are depending on application object.) I had only one public variable (goApp) and all object used it. I am afraid to use referencing the app object via object property because of possible refrence dagling. (i.e. pass a refrence for the App object and save it into a property variable in a Business object). So I thought to create an enviroment object internally or pass it as parameter and save its properties into object properties of Business object.
