Answer:

Although it is possible to chain scripts by using the “CallScript” command it is not recommended to use it (or even exhaust) too much unless successful script execution of the called script does not depend on the prior executed script or if the chain is not too long and if a script is preceded by an initiating script followed by a script that brings the AUT back into a defined state.

Functionality or a business-case that is used very often such as the login-operation should not be placed in a script but in a function library because scripts don’t allow for parameter passing, ie. a login-script is unable to be reused with different usernames and passwords.
All functions within libraries and/or scripts need explanatory headers where one describes the purpose of the function.
