Yes it does, but sometimes you might want to sêtup
something from a library stack to catch all the
messages.
The backScripts sit just before the engine, but behind
the stacksInUse. So you could use them (for example)
to complement certain standard behaviour.

As for frontScripts, you can use those (for example)
to check input in fields by inserting the script of a
library field in the front on openField.

Pretty powerful things, frontScripts and backScripts,
though admittedly I only use frontScripts.

Hope this helped,
