the easiest way of doing this is via a GroovyShell.

shell = new GroovyShell()
shell.evaluate(new File("foo.groovy"))
shell.evaluate("for (x in 1..10) { println "hello ${x}" }')

etc

Or if your scripts are written as classes, you could just refer to 
static methods etc

main(args) {
     SomeOtherScript.someStaticMethod(123)
}
