Is it bad to have a large GLOBAL.ASA file?

[michaaal]

It seems to me that I generally use two types of Functions:

Type #1-Ones that any page on my site might use
Type #2-Ones that only a single page would ever use

Logically, it seems that I should put the Type #1 functions in the
GLOBAL.ASA file and the Type #2 functions in the pages that use them. I
would like to, however, just go ahead and include ALL of my functions in the
GLOBAL.ASA file.

Comments on this? Is this a good idea?

Why don't you put your functions into include files?

but you're saying you want them to be available throughout the app? this
is the wrong approach to take there - global.asa runs just once per
session, and code inside it isn't available to your ASP scripts

have you thought about using Windows Script Components to store and use
commonly-used functions?
