Yes, that should work, however...

... there is usually no way to guarantee that the user will have this 
script in place and that it does not produce any compile/run-time 
errors. This way, the user can break Sieve processing in the 
sieve_before stage. The first part can be mended with the new :optional 
tag recently added to the include extension's specification (not 
implemented in Pigeonhole so far). Unfortunately, there is no way to 
resolve the second part.

Yes.
