Do you mean one [text] loader into each abstractions ?
I just meant loadbanging a symbol (or a message).
e.g:

shared_symbol.pd:

[loadbang]
|
[symbol MySharedSymbol]
|
[outlet]

Then patches calling  [shared_symbol] will get the symbol at load time.

Hello Jérôme,

Did you try to use a server with that value. And then use clients in
your patches/abstractions to query this value to the server at startup ?
I could be a possibility...
