Restarting the sever re-initializes gluon; Your modules are read / re-evaluated (as you say) when you run them - so that happens "all the time" in the start / stop edit / start parts of developing on web2py. Your served homepage is .... init (if it's there) or welcome (the template for starting other new projects) by default.
You are free to put what you like in your init - even a simple re-direct to the admin if you would prefer to start that way during local development. Does this help?
