The way I handle preprocessors and other options, is, to put them into a 
(pseudo-) comment 
in the first line of a document, like e.g.:

.\" tbl eqn lnd 

This line is interpreted by my groff shell script and I can never forget to run 
the required
preprocessors and to set the appropriate optoins (landscape in the example).
