Because by design all the additional function definitions in the .m file
are local and hidden to the outside world. You can of course make them
visible with function handles like this

--- multif.m ---

function f = multif(name)
  if strcmp(name, "a")
    f = @__a__;
  else
    f = @__b__;
  endif
endfunction

function y= __a__(x)
  y=sin(x);
endfunction

function y=__b__(x)
  y=cos(x);
endfunction

--- end multif.m ---

octave:1> f = multif("a")
f = @__a__
octave:2> f(2)
ans =  0.90930
octave:3> f = multif("b")
f = @__b__
octave:4> f(2)
ans = -0.41615


But that's a bit off topic here.
