This is possible. What you have to do is to decide inside the main oct-file 
function which (sub-)function should be called an then call this function. I 
realized it with an array of function-name, pointer to the function and 
number of input parameters (to check if all needed parameters are given) and 
just compare the command-name with the name stored in the array and then call 
the function.

To see how I implemented it, you can download the source code of my libRASCH 
project (www.librasch.org; a library to access physiological signals stored 
in different data formats) and look at 'interfaces/octave/ra_octave.[h|cc]' 
which implements the octave interface for libRASCH.

Hope this helps
Raphael
