I think it should be an option.  load-always or load-once, so to speak.

At the customer site where I've been using JScheme servlets to demo 
screen designs and change them on the spot, it's been very nice that 
little tweaks to my html.scm and defs.scm "libraries" get reflected 
immediately in the browser, and fellow developers were impressed that I 
never had to stop/restart the Jetty server.

I can see the value of load-once too, so long as there is a way to dump 
("forget") something in memory dynamically so a new version can be 
loaded.
