I guess this was sarcasm :-). Usually, such messages are posted in the setup routine, as IOhannes has mentioned. Since the setup routine is called whenever you create the first instance, you achieve the same effect. 

BTW, what's the point of doing [declare -lib hid]? Or were you just experimenting?

Best, Christof
