There sure is.  There is a variable called members_only which we set to 1 on
each page that requires a login:

[set members_only]1[/set]

Then in our tempate for the top of every page it contains this code:

[if scratch members_only]
    [set members_only][/set]
    [if !session logged_in]
    [set mv_successpage]@@MV_PAGE@@[/set]
    [bounce page=login]
    [/if]
[/if]

Good luck!
