You can't do that. You can only initialize variables with constants before start()

int a = 2;
int b = 2+2;   // error -- '+' - comma or semicolon expected 
int c = a + b; // error -- 'a' - initialization expected 
               // error -- '+' - comma or semicolon expected 
               // error -- 'b' - expression on global scope not allowed 
 
int start(){
   return(0);
}

You can do such

extern datetime thedate=0;
 
....
int init()
{
...
if (thedate=0) thedate=TimeCurrent();
...
}
