John,
Thank you very much for your reply!
If I understand correctly this is not efficient
enough for my case.
Probably I am just following a completely wrong
approach, let me explain in more detail what I need to do:

I have a set of functions in m-files, say fa.m, fb.m and fc.m
that I want to convert to c++ for better performance.

they something look like

-----
function out = fa(in)

  for ii=1:bigumber
    for jj=1:bigumber
      -- compute some stuff --
      out(ii,jj) = fb(somestuff)
    end
  end

endfunction
-----
function out = fb(in)

  for ii=1:bigumber
      -- compute some stuff --
      out += fc(somestuff)
  end

endfunction
-----

and I would like fa, fb and fc all to be available
as commands from the octave prompt.

Probably my approach of making a .oct file
for each function juast makes no sense.

Do you have any alternatives?
Carlo
