I personally prefer to have ILX::init close to ILX::call (within the same proc) because it makes the code easier to read (especially when you have a loooong iRule), static variable is not exactly a great feature and sometime causes pain (IMHO), and I assume the init call is not expensive (not 100% sure though).
