When are biztalk variables initialized (and how to handle errors there)?

Hello,

Imagine a simple orchestration with a receive shape, some expressions, and
a decide shape to test for errors in those expresssions. if an error
ocurred, a fault is sent back. otherwise, the send port is sent a
confirmation message.

This orchestration also has some variables of types in defined in custom
classes of mine. If the initialization of these fails (using the default
constructor), how can I handle the resulting exception? When, exacly, are
they initialized? before the receive? immediately after the receive?

I could find no information on this...
