As I understand it, "scripts" don't have "parameters".

You can "source" a script, which runs it inside the current scope, and therefore
with access to all the variables that were defined before you called "source",
and leaving any newly instantiated variables inside your toplevel scope.  

If you need to encapsulate code, then you *need* to write a "function" (which is
a very different beast than a "script", but I think you know that).

I think the terminology would be: one "calls" a function, or one "sources" a
script, but never vice versa.
