Not that I'm aware of, no.

What do you mean, uninitalized? In POV, a variable always has to be #declared,
and thus initialized, before you can use it. Clock is just a special variable,
initialized automatically.
I don't see much merit in what you suggest, since variable has to be initialized
(declared) in the scipt anyway. Why not change it there? You just have to
structure your code for easy access to important variables.
