I'm not sure I understand it correctly, but what you seem to describe is
some global (i.e. module level) variable that is initialized when the
module is loaded and is modified when a document is read from a file.
However it's not reset when the next document is loaded. 

This would indeed lead to incorrectly loaded documents in most cases,
unless the the plugin is unloaded in-between.
