Hi Rutger,
The best solution is to use gROOT->Loadmacro("file.C") and then invoke
one or more functions of file.C
Always use named macros when you use more than one macro. You will avoid
the usual scoping problems.
In your case, I suggest the following sequence:
gROOT->LoadMacro("macroa.C"); //contains functions funca1, funca2, etc
gROOT->LoadMacro("macrob.C"); //contains functions funcb1, funcb2,etc
in funca1 or funca2, you can now call funcb1, funcb2, etc (normal C++)
