To answer your first question, the the body's ONLOAD command is executed once the page has completed loading. Having script in your HTML gets executed at different times depending on the browser (at least that's my experience).
As for the other questions, why do you need 2-3 ajax calls to execute on page load? You should be able to do everything you need in once request. For example, check out the code for PalmSphere.com; it uses an XHR to load JavaScript code from the server, and then eval's it - this is used to populate some JS array's, etc. Then, I use use JS to interpret the data and act accordingly (i.e. mark favorites, update favorite counter, etc.). In fact in DevLists I abandoned this method entirely and simply populated the JS arrays during the intial page render; it caused the back button to break sometimes, but the improved performance was worth it.
