Yes there's a standard way that we recommend. It's better to load all libraries on startup, rather than for each use - SET PROCEDURE/CLASSLIB has overhead even if libraries are already loaded so generally one wants to avoid this for each hit.
Basic approach: Put into YourApp.OnLoad() (YourAppMain.prg) to set all SET PROCEDURE ADDITIVE/SET CLASSLIB commands.
Better approach, create a LOAD_MyApp.prg called from YourApp.OnLoad(). Inside put all SET PROCEDURE/SET CLASSLIB commands you need including DO wconnect. Besides loading all references in your app it's also a quick way to set up a test environment where you can load up all classes needed to test individual classes or helpers of your application and Web Connection.
As mentioned I tend to do this for all my apps of consequence, desktop as well as Web to

I'm running WWWC 5.60. Most of the class libraries are referenced in wconnect.prg and wconnect.h, but wwFTP is absent. So I'm using a 'SET PROCEDURE TO wwFTP ADDITIVE' immediately before 'oFTP = CREATE("wwFtp")'. It works but seems to break convention. Is there a better approach?
