Correct: a class #initialize is called when its code is loaded, but only if it is not yet present or different in source code from what is already present (this last point will bite you one day ;-). Else, the #initialize should be called manually (for example to reload some caches, or reset some system state). This sometimes happens in #postLoads or install scripts. I am not aware of any automatic invocations. Sven
