 * in the new starter _s theme from automattic (for example), does the code in a
   file like tweaks.php or functions.php only run once when you go to the theme?
   or does it run through this code every time you go to a new page or post??
 * trying to figure out how they do the multi-column layout design in the Able theme(
   I downloaded the theme code from wordpress.com) because a class is set depending
   on the number of sidebar widgets there are and there is also a full-width page
   template.

 * There’s no “one size fits all” answer to this. It depends upon the functions 
   that are in these files. Some may be called on every page, some may only run 
   under specific situations.

 * Again, because this is so very theme specific, you’re not going to find any specific
   documentation unless the theme developer has chosen to publish this level of 
   documentation (highly unlikely). You could try looking through the scripts themselves
   to see if they contain any useful comments.
 * You also might want to have a look at the [action reference](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference)&
   [filter reference](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference) documentation.
   I think those two would cover all of the scenarios where a function **isn’t**
   being called manually.
