They will be re-parsed (and a duplicate created) unless you make sure that
they are not.  The way you do this is to either:
1) check the "clock" variable to see if it is the first frame
2) set a persistent variable at the end of your scene (so it will get set at
the end of the first frame) and then check for it before creating those
objects.

Please be aware that there are a bugs right now with persistent objects  and
with persistent variables.  :-(
