This problem should now be solved in current CVS version. Thanks for 
pointing it. When no existing session is available, CW3 now uses a 
default session as a basis for views loading.

Oops, I forgot to answer your question. Sorry!
To simplify I would say that views only use session data to save map 
states (no GET/POST data, etc.). If no query session is recorded 
(persistentQueries = false), no query request is sent to mapserver.
