Answer 1

Rather than loading properties in every class. Load it somewhere around main() and pass it to other classes via their constructors.

Don't share them globally. - Difficult to test - Against the abstraction (Global access, DAO can access user settings. it should be prevented by passing only what it needs.. not everything) - Classes lie what they need
