[SR-Users] Dialog order of operations

Hi, The dialog module documentation remains unclear about the order of operations with regard to when to call dlg_manage() or set the transaction flag. My impression is that dlg_manage() only registered TM callbacks, so it doesn't matter when you call it, as long as it's before t_relay(). However, the documentation neither confirms nor denies this. So, this raises the questions: 1) Is this okay? set_dlg_profile("caller", "$fU"); dlg_manage(); ... t_relay(); Or do I need to do this? dlg_manage(); set_dlg_profile("caller", "$fU"); ... t_relay(); 2) What about setting dialog-persistent variables? Is this okay? $dlg_var(account_id) = 49555; dlg_manage(); If so, where does the variable go if I never call dlg_manage() because the call is aborted beforehand, e.g. $dlg_var(account_id) = 49555; sl_send_reply("403", "Forbidden"); exit; dlg_manage(); ... t_relay(); 3) Any other gotchas or caveats in relation to the order of operations? I suppose my preference would be to set the dialog profiles in various places throughout call processing and call dlg_manage() at the very end, right before t_relay(). Is this acceptable?
