Load command

Is the NCL "load" command an executable statement, or some sort of
static directive to NCL? I would like to use an if block to load
scripts conditionally, but this does not seem to work as expected. The
load command seems to be always "executed" without regard to the if
statement.

Simplified example:

if (lib_flag .ne. 1) then
  load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
end if

Thank you for any advice on how to do this.
