Just wrap the command in \AtBeginDocument{}.  Then it works as you  
want. For this kind of thing it might also make sense to make a  
package instead of just using \input (but you'd still use  
\AtBeginDocument in the package anyway.  -Alan



%%% ddt.tex %%%
\AtBeginDocument{%
\newbox\scbox \setbox\scbox=\hbox{{\textsc{AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA}}}
}
