>> Here is my logic <<

I'm not sure if this is logic to follow. You describe it as if the wood moving from oiling is more and different from wood moving from playing vs. cold and dry. I think the clarinet moves most from playing and it moves in the same way. I don't think oiling is likely to move it back to uncracked appearance. Not playing for a while can do this.

Also the glue only attaches a small point of the circumference. In addition both the wood and glue can and will move from temperature etc. I think the different positions from oiling or not are very small in comparison with the movement from playing vs. dry anyway so it is likely that it is irelevant.

I think the only way around what you describe as a problem is to never play the clarinet. If you are overly concerned then you can oil first, degrease the crack, then glue. But it will still swell and contract more from playing anyway. Plus if something does happen, you can't "predict the future" and know what caused it e.g. if it does crack in a different place you can't know it was because you oiled or didn't oil it before gluing. Only a huge mount of samples under identical conditions can show something like this.
