The usual trick is to attach a listener to /sim/signals/nasal-dir-initialized.
Also, you can load nasal modules dynamically, such as:

if (!contains(globals, "MPCarriersNW")) {
  io.load_nasal(getprop("/sim/fg-root") ~
                "/Aircraft/MPCarrier/Systems/mp-network.nas",
                "MPCarriersNW");
