If you mean "top-level program definitions and expressions", yes, or at
least almost.  The once-only would be implied (by the mechanism for
converting top-level programs to libraries) for the definitions of a
top-level program and for expressions that come before the definitions. 
The once-only is not implied and not necessary for the expressions that
follow all definitions.
