There's a way without the code, but it's tricky. I had to use it when I wanted a bizobject added to a container or page. Namely, I'd add a property which would have this value:

=NEWOBJECT("class_name","class_name_lib.vcx" )

Don't remember whether I had to put all of it except the equal sign in parentheses. This made the object instantiate before any other code in the container or page.

Unless you need this, what you're doing is already the best way.
