"post_select_topic"-hook of plugin.js is called before "init"-hook of plugin.js

[Malte]

if the url for requesting webclient initalization is a "topic-level permalink"

Yes, in the case you describe the post_select_topic() hook is triggered through the Topicmaps plugin. It is that plugin's init() code that displays the initial topicmap and selects the initial topic. And: the order in which the plugins are init'ed is not deterministic.

(For the moment) there is no contract that prohibits to trigger post_select_topic() before init().

If your plugin's post_select_topic hook depends on your init() code: try to put your init() code direct in the plugin's constructor (outside any hook). Then it is executed before any plugin is init'ed.
