PHP runs line by line, and each function/line/command finishes before 
the next one is executed. So as long as you call 
load_plugin_textdomain before you call __ or _e, there is no problem.

Also, the MO file is read from a file system mounted directly on the 
same server that PHP is running on, or at least that would be the norm.
