Yes.

I went much further than that, as I have a fairly large filter that I
wanted to break up into modules, and I ended up using "use" instead of
"require", but (I'm not sure why, possibly:) because the filter is
itself "required" and not "used", I found that INIT blocks didn't work
as expected.  Let's just say that a lot of hair-pulling took place
while I designed workarounds to make sure that the right things were
defined at the right time.

What you propose sounds simpler, and less likely to cause headaches.
Good luck!


Anne.
