local variables to initialize org buffer?

local variables to initialize org buffer?

I'm trying to figure out how to start up slime and do
org-babel-execute-buffer when I open a certain org-mode file full of Lisp
source code blocks. I guess

Local Variables:
 eval: (elisp-function)
 End:

is discouraged. So I looked at in buffer settings
<https://orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-settings.html>, but I don't see
anything specific to actually running elisp functions -- unless I'm missing
something. Advice?

Will `org-babel-load-file' suffice?

HTH,

Sure, but how should it be implemented?

It is discouraged but not disallowed.  I use this:

# eval: (esf/execute-startup-block)

where 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/execute-startup-block ()
    (interactive)
    (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "startup")
    (org-babel-execute-src-block))
#+end_src

which will execute any org src block named startup whenever I visit the
file (but with confirmation required).  It is incumbent on me knowing
that the src block is safe to execute and I only say yes for files that
are mine.

# Local Variables:
#   eval: (org-babel-load-file (buffer-file-name))
#   End:

or if you want to follow Eric's suggestion, something like:

#+name: startup
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no
(org-babel-load-file (buffer-file-name))
#+end_src

I've got this in my config.org , which is called by my init.el:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun borgauf/execute-startup-block ()
    (interactive)
    (progn (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "startup")
   (org-babel-execute-src-block)))
#+end_src

then in my org-mode file I have this at the bottom:

* Comments

#+name: startup
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results silent
;(progn (slime) (org-babel-execute-buffer))
(slime)
(org-babel-execute-buffer)
#+END_SRC

# Local Variables:
# eval: (borgauf/execute-startup-block)
# End:

This is starting the slime repl just fine, but not doing the
(org-babel-execute-buffer). I can then manually run C-c C-v b and it indeed
runs all the code blocks. So, I'm guessing that after the (slime) is
performed, it doesn't return focus to my calling org-mode buffer and
the (org-babel-execute-buffer) is running to no avail in the slime repl
buffer?
