Parent object always for form controls exist, no matter now control initialized - at form startup or added in run-time. Yes, Init method of child controls called before init of container, but container already exist at that moment.
However, I will try to use the order of Init calls, this might help.
Thanks for suggestion!

>>Is there way to detect in control's Init method code that control added in run-time? For example:
>>
>> procedure Init
>> lAddedInRuntype = ????
>> if lAddedInRuntype
>> ... special actions
>> endif
>> endproc
