Just a quick clarification: I meant that such initialisation code may be present in the libraries that you require, not in your own code (and so you do not have much control over this, unless you start modifying the libraries). > > * If Alex Harsanyi's code uses dynamic-require or eval, the phase 1 > > initialisation code of the required libraries is executed when eval or > > dynamic-require are first invoked. > > The code does not use any of those things.

Again, there could be some use of eval within library code, or in code generated by library macros, even if there is no direct use of eval in your code.
