Facing problem when we call init_agent() before calling init_snmp()

we are using net-snmp 5.2.2 .
snmpd in agentx mode ("-x 705" as startup parameter),  and subagent are
running as separate processes.
 
In the subagent initialization, we are calling
init_agent(/usr/share/snmp/subagt.conf), before calling
init_snmp("/usr/share/snmp/subagt.conf") as per the suggested net-snmp
documentation.  Because of this, subagent is trying to attempt open
connection with the agent on "/var/agentx/master" socket from
init_agent() routine.  This attempt to open session is failed and an
alarm is registered for an interval of 15 seconds to re-attempt the open
with snmpd.   
 
But as per our subagent configuration it should attempt to open the
connection with the agent on " tcp:localhost:705" socket, and with an
agentxPingInterval of 1 second.   
 
I dig into the code of init_snmp(). init_snmp() api is calling
read_configs() to read the subagent configuration (agentxsocket,
agentxPingInterval etc).  To my understanding this will overwrite the
default values with which init_agent() will attempt to open the session.
As per that understanding, I have called init_snmp() before calling
init_agent().   I observed that the subagent established connection with
agent on "tcp:localhost:705" socket after agentxPingInterval of 1sec. 
 
This is working fine for us but we want to know is there is any problem
in calling init_snmp() before init_agent().
 
Any help on this will be appreciated. 
 
Thanks,
Ravi
