How about:

class MyApp(dabo.dApp):

def _getStartupPanels(self):

return getattr(self, "_startupPanels", [])

def _setStartupPanels(self, val):

self._startupPanels = []

StartupPanels = property(_getStartupPanels, _setStartupPanels)

class MyMainForm(dabo.ui.dFormMain):

def afterInit(self):

for P in self.Application.StartupPanels:

p = P(self)

self.Sizer.append(p)

...and in your startup code:

import dabo

dabo.ui.loadUI("wx")

class Panel1(dabo.ui.dPanel):

...

class Panel2(dabo.ui.dPanel):

...

startupPanels = [Panel1, Panel2]

app = MyApp(MainFormClass=MyMainForm, StartupPanels=startupPanels)

app.start()

I haven't tested this but it should work, theoretically.
