The rule of thumb in EFL is that you init in all the places you use it. So, if in your application you call ecore_evas_* functions, you have to call ecore_evas_init() first.

All the EFL init functions will just increment a ref if they are already initialized. This is the easiest way to keep things safe and is the way adopted in all the rest of EFL.


So, ewk calls ecore_evas_init() and edje_init() because it uses functions of these libraries. In your application, you shouldn't trust what the library will do with external libraries, so you should call the _init() function too. As I said, this will be almost a nop and you'll be safe regarding future updates.
