Your question about the doors is weird. The APU or lack thereof has no impact on pressurization.
If you have a door showing open after engine start, the airplane won't pressurize period. That's why we have procedures to bypass a dodgy switch.

maybe i didnt explain myself .
the apu runs the packs on the ground (yes)
so there must be some logic to allow this to happen with an entry door is open,so is it part of the eng speed cards that once the engs are started that if a door switch shows open the packs shutdown?
also the 767 doesnt need an eng run after a mag plug inspection but the a330 does both twins,both subject to etops, so why no apu etops on the 330
finally not rated on the A330 just a curious question
