One way I've dealt with this issue in the past is by having the 'INCLUDE' in the code always, then testing for something I know should be initialized with TESTVAR = UNASSIGNED(varname) -- if the variable would return 'Not Assigned a value' then TESTVAR would be 1, and I would know to run my 'Initialize' routine...
