Depends on the class. Morph does this already, so any subclass (unless you make changes to defeat this) will also do an #initialize as a part of #new. For other classes, you may need to do something similar yourself.

The only "automatic" time is when filing out a class #initialize method, a doit is normally included that sends #initialize to the class after filing in. Other than that, it's up to you to decide when you need to call it.
