Possible Global Function problem?

Function Main()
  New Game()
End

''...imagine this function is an extern function that assigns a new ID
Function ASSIGN_ID:int()
  Return MyExternIdGenerator()
End

Class Game Extends App
  '' etc...
  Global id:int = ASSIGN_ID()

  Method OnCreate()
    Print id ''in c++ this will call the function ASSIGN_ID() instead of returning the id value
  End
End

is that correct behavior to inline something that should be assigned?
it does not do this to fields.

i'd be ok for a work-around if anyone has one. perhaps have the global function call a classed static function?
EDIT: even a classed static function doesn't work

Function ASSIGN_ID:Int()
	Return Helper.GetId()
End

Class Helper
	Global id:Int=0
	Function GetId:Int()
		id+=1
		Return id
	End
End

This works here (glfw)...

Import mojo

Global x:=0

Function GetID:Int()
	Print "GetID()"
	x+=1
	Return x
End

Class MyApp Extends App

	Global id:=GetID()
	
	Method OnCreate()
		Print "OnCreate()"
		Print id
		SetUpdateRate 10
	End
	
	Method OnRender()
		Cls
		DrawText "id="+id,0,0
	End
End

Function Main()
	Print "Main()"
	New MyApp
End

Funcs are called in expected order:
GetID()
Main()
OnCreate()

OK, thanks for the sanity check. I'll double-check my work.
