I believe that, if your program is importing 2 other packages, each of
which import some other package,
that other doubly-imported package will only be executed once, by

I'm 99% sure you can accomplish the same thing with a variable that is
global to all instances of the class.

class Foo:
itemID = 0
def __init__(self):
itemID += 1
