Calling functions in global.asa

Question

I would like to call a function from another file in the Session_OnStart part if global.asa, so I could declare some Session("variables") according to some data.

Is it possible?
How?

Edit: I found a workaround, where I have a global functions file that I include everywhere. So I added to the code to this file. It's not perfect, because even though it's a small piece of code, it still runs every refresh, instead of once at the Session_OnStart.

Any other solutions?

What have you tried so far? Do you have any code examples of what you have tried? — Rich, Apr 07 '14 at 14:26
I edited the question so now it tells about a workaround that I did. — Tomer Amir, Apr 07 '14 at 14:32

It's indeed not possible to add include files to you global.asa. You could do the following:

Create a 'flag' in the session that says if it's a new session. Fill it in the Session_OnStart (i.e. Session("NewSession") = True) and verify this before executing your global function(s).
