The docs are a bit vague
The value of a script local variable is retained between handlers, but is lost when you quit the application, when you close the stack (unless its destroyStack property is false), or when the script is re-compiled.
which doesn't really mention start-up conditions.
The key word might be "re-compiled".
I would have thought that it would be re-compiled only once and that at first use.
Here is a way to find out if it is being compiled twice and when. Use a later version and put in a new command in the script. Then open the stack on an earlier version that doesn't have the command. You will get an error when it compiles. If it really compiles twice, then you will get it twice.
It gets recompiled whenever you edit a script and click "Apply". So, if you've initialized something in openCard or preOpenCard, or some other pre or open handler, then edit the script, the variables will become uninitialized.
