(function (){

  var run = (function (){

    var func, blank = function () {};

    func = function () {
      func = blank;

      // following code executes only once 
      console.log('run once !');
    };

    return function(){
      func.call();
    };
  })();

  run();
  run();
  run();
  run();

})();
