I haven't been reading all the messages in this thread. But, I wonder if it might be helpful for you to consider how Wordpress 
handles plugins.

Very simply, when a new plugin is installed, it is allowed to run its installation routine. During this process, the plugin 
registers certain event 'hooks' into the database. Then, when a hooked event occurs, the main program knows to call the 
appropriate routine from the plugin. It has been a while since I have been under the Wordpress hood, but from what I recall, a 
handle on the database connection is passed to the called plugin routine so it can get the data it needs to complete its function.
