I'm betting you want _preRun(), which executes once before any  
actions (as opposed to _setup(), which executes only after  
construction).  See this part of the docs from Solar_Controller_Page:

* When you call [[fetch()]], these intercept methods are run in the
* following order ...
*
* 1. [[_load()]] to load class properties from the fetch() URI  
specification
*
* 2. [[_preRun()]] before the first action
*
* 3. [[_preAction()]] before each action (including _forward()-ed  
actions)
*
* 4. ... The action method itself runs here ...
*
* 5. [[_postAction()]] after each action
*
* 6. [[_postRun()]] after the last action, and before rendering
*

Hope that helps, let me know if it does not.
