Comment (by dd32):

 The only problem that could kick in here, IMHO, would be plugins that
 expect those variables to be available at inclusion time.

 That being said, no-plugin should be running code on inclusion (other than
 actions/filters/activation hooks), or have global variables such as that,
 and since the plugin is already loaded, if it wants to mess with those
 settings it can do that too.
