ensuring file exists in SetOutPath Directory

In a section, if I have "SETOUTPATH" and a set of "file"s, at what point can I trust that the files will be extracted and usable by further scripts in the process?

(In other words if my script was to use the files that are in those declarations, where do I place the script?)

From my experimentation, I can not depend on the files declared in the sections area with the "FILE" declaration to be available for use until the "leave_function" of the "instfiles" page.

Does this sound right, or is there an earlier point in the process that I am missing?
