Is it possible to call a script from within another script in Octave?

PHP has the nifty include() function to bring in external files into the main script. Is this possible in Octave? I tried using load() but I keep getting an error: error: load: unable to determine the file format of 't_whse.m' which makes me think this is the wrong way to do this or that it's actually not possible in Octave.

You don't need to call load, as load is reserved for loading data from a file. Instead, you just want to call the script by name. This will (if it's actually a script) execute the script and make any variables that were defined in that script accessible to the calling script.

script1.m

disp('Beginning of script1');
script2;
fprintf('Value = %d\n', value)
disp('End of script1')

script2.m

disp('Beginning of script2');
value = 2;
disp('End of script 2');
