The userSetup.py is run each when maya is being started. You can have several 
userSetup.py files in your PYTHONPATH, but just one userSetup.mel. 

If you want to make the userSetup file clean you can call other .py files from 
within the userSetup using execfile(). 
But you can also run your code directly in it. 

I hope that gets you started,
