Effectively, double-clicking a running stay-open app is handled by "reopen".

OK. Actually, I'm running this test stay-open droplet under OS 9.
_____________
on run
display dialog "run"
end run
on open
display dialog "open"
end open
on reopen
display dialog "reopen"
end reopen
on activate
display dialog "activate"
end activate
on launch
display dialog "launch"
end launch

I don't wish communicate myself with the droplet (sending it commands "tell
app My_Droplet to open"), but through "apple menu" or some app able to
"open" alias, such as Entourage.
AND
Running from Apple menu, I receive, at first, "run".
So, now the droplet is up and running.
Second time: the droplet activates but nothing happens.
That's because I need a "on re-run" handler.
