Hi Robert,
I should avoid a misunderstanding. Normally if you don't do an EXPLICIT call init fires on construction. Otherwise you could of course call and fire it like you could call and fire a click event even if there were no click at all.

* Call an objects's init - oMyObject = thisform.anobject
oMyobject.init(params here)
* Call form init
thisform.init(params)
*If you want to fire in form.refresh
* then add thisform.init() to refresh code
