Due to your remind, now I am going to study the real problem, the
unsupported nested function. Thank you very much. It would be appreciated if
you can point out a direction on how to solve it.

you can find details of the complexities introduced by nested functions here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Nested-Functions.html

But that doesn't really do much to solving your problem, which is that while nested functions have been supported by recent versions of Octave, they still cannot support handles pointing to them  (the @function construct).  There are some complexities of handling such things, and they are the topic of an open bug report in Octave: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39257

There is a patch submitted to that bug, but I don't know enough to state whether it will be fixed in the next release of Octave.  In the meantime, it will likely require recoding the scripts in question to avoid the problem function calls.
