// myclock will be equal to clock until myvalue gets above 1.
// At that point myclock will "freeze".

#if (myvalue>1)
   #fopen data "data.inc" write
      #write (data,"#declare myclock = ",clock,";\n")
   #fclose data
#end

#if (file_exists("data.inc")=1)
   #include "data.inc"
#else
   #declare myclock = clock;
#end

Is this what you need?
