That's called a DLL. Implementation would depend on what you were
trying to do.
Another option may be to have an object/class to store "self" to disk.
An idea that I am contemplating how to implement works on this theory. It's
an AI engine that is _my_ (I use that phrase loosely) idea of how "common
sense" should be represented in an artificially "sentient" computer. The
program loads its base class "Thing" and everything is derived from that
"Thing" as either a tangible Thing or an intangible Thing. The idea is to
create a Knowledge Base similar to the CYC project.
Back from my tangent, the point is that everything in the code is
object oriented (I'm actually writing it in Java) and saves itself to disk as
each entry is "learned". When the program exits it stores a hard copy of its
brain to disk, and thus when started back up it will remember everything it
has learned by loading its brain from disk.
Ah, I'm rambling, I'll shutup now. If anyone is interested though
please email me; I could use the help.
