well, in my applications, subsystems usually consists of one or more classes, or at least
one or more functions.  code that needs the global context usually gets the content either
as a constructor argument, or as an argument to individual methods/functions.

if you build a system by execfile'ing subcomponents (or importing them just to run their
code, rather than use what they define), using this approach is harder.  but that's not a
very good way to build systems, so I'm not sure that matters...
