So I don't think that is a benefit of storing them in the globals. I think the Pro's and Con's have to do with: First Pro) You can access a database or .inc from any site within that sandbox if it is stored within the globals directory. Perhaps a con?) You can access a database or .inc from any site within that sandbox if it is stored within the globals directory. I think it comes down to what your individual use is. If you are god of the server, you may want to store commonly used .inc's in the globals directory so they don't have to be copied in each site. You may want to do a single payment gateway for several sites within a sandbox?... globals could be a good solution there. These are some reasons to use the globals directory... However, you probably don't want a products database called from the globals directory if there is a bunch of stores (sites) within your sandbox. Its all individual purpose my man.
