what diff between init.pre and local.cf?

I'm trying to figure out any issues regarding config data and my
ldapBlacklist plug-in, and this is a mystery to me.

Why purpose does init.pre serve excactly if local.cf and user_prefs can
load the same plug-in modules?

init.pre is loaded before all other .cf files, local.cf after all
share .cf files and right before user_prefs.  If you have a plugin
that may parse config lines then you want it to be loaded before any
of the config files are read.
