call compile preprocessFile

[iceman77 19]

Will the script that's being call compile preProcessFile be loaded into memory more than once? Say on JIP or w/e? How is this working exactly? In the script that's call compile preprocessFile, I store some code into a global variable (loadChange). The loadChange variable/function can be called by clients at any given time, and no doubt it will be called several times. Is this the right way to go about this? Also, is there any point in call compile preProccessFile on exclusively the client? Say for JIP players too? Should I execVM the loadChange script to store the code into the global variable (loadChange) that way?

init.sqf

 [] call compile preprocessFile "digitalLoadout\loadChange.sqf";
