While in scala REPL, can I execute external script from file?

While in scala REPL, can I execute external script from file?

I mean literally, load and execute lines of text as if I just typed them in the REPL?

Being in repl you can do :load <filepath>

In response to comment below I did some digging. So indeed, you can use :paste <filepath> as well. The difference is explained in scala docs here http://docs.scala-lang.org/scala/2.11/

:load can only interpret a file from top to bottom which is for example a problem when there is a reference to a definition that is defined later. :paste is overworked to solve this limitation. It now can not only load a file but also handle it as a single unit.
