Sorry, Willian, I don't understand.
When will this Init function be called ?
    a) When the script is launched
    b) when blender is launched
in case a, the script will not have its place in the menu/submenu thing 
(called with spacebar or the upper menu entry)
in case b, the bl_load_file will have to be modified. And what happens 
if there is no .blend file ?


Could u elaborate on 2,3 and 4 points, I did not really understood. ( 
sorry... ) ?

btw, u talked about a "space" window. What is it exactly ? A new kind of 
window, like text windows or 3D windows?
What are its properties? Why not use a text window. It *is* a good thing 
to let the users edit a script, advanced users may want to 
fiddle/customize it, no?

Don't worry, I'm a bit lengthy to understand, but I don't forget...
