Oh, OK, so it has nothing to do with Apache::Reload, sorry for missing
this point in your original post.

So it has something to do with you Loader. May be you are using do()
instead of require()/use(). Or may be you mangle with %INC?
Something forces the reload of your files. I'd suggest putting something
like:
use Carp;
cluck("I was loaded");
in one of the files
run the server in single server mode (httpd -X)
and check the trace on the second reload.
