Importing Prisma

In a file I created, I have the following code. Initially, I imported "prisma" everywhere I needed it. However, I discovered that this approach creates a global variable, allowing me to use "prisma" in other files without importing it explicitly. I'm unsure if this is acceptable or if I should continue importing it to avoid potential issues with using the same instance or other concerns (using next 12)

import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';

let prisma;

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  prisma = new PrismaClient();
} else {
  if (!global.prisma) {
    global.prisma = new PrismaClient();
  }

  prisma = global.prisma;
}

export default prisma;

import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';

let prisma;

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  prisma = new PrismaClient();
} else {
  if (!global.prisma) {
    global.prisma = new PrismaClient();
  }

  prisma = global.prisma;
}

export default prisma;

In prisma, while creating a multiple schema models, is it possible to import schema files?
