Actually, I think logical time would work perfectly for what I am trying to do. I want to have the first instance that is executed in any given cycle run a function, but none of the rest. As far as I understand, the instance that is created first is not necessarily the first one to execute in each cycle.
So if I run the function, then set a global variable to the logical time, then next instance would check the logical time against that global variable. If it was equal, it would skip that function. That should guarantee that the first instance to execute in a given cycle will execute that function, rather than just using instance 0.
Any comments or suggestions appreciated, as usual. So... how do I get the logical time? Time to dig...

Logical time wouldn't work for that, as two objects in the same patch are created at teh same logical time. I'd suggest code like:
{ static int initted = 0; if (!initted) { .. this code only runs once .. initted = 1; } }

Any suggestions as how to do this?
