Okay, let's go into <self_promotion_mode>:
This sounds exactly like how Cgiapp works, a class I ported from perl,
and available at:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/cgiapp/
Cgiapp is basically a do-nothing class that makes creating application
classes that work similar to how you describe very simple to code. Such
applications are then trivially re-usable, extensible, and customizable
(through instance scripts). And it provides all this in a mere
few-hundred lines of code.
I bring it up because you asked (a) if your setup is a good setup
(probably), and (b) how people in an OO world would achieve this
(Cgiapp).
You might check out the code and the docs to see if you can glean some
ideas for your projects.
</self_promotion_mode>
(Man, I hate doing that... buy I *am* proud of that bit o' code, even if
it isn't completely original.)
