if n.sh doesn't contain anything but functions and variables (i.e. no actual executed code) then add ". <path>/n.sh" to the top of n1.sh. If n.sh is a full functional script, then you cannot do this. If you have common functions that you wish to use over multiple scripts, then place these functions into their own file (preferable without a "#!" line at the top). In this way, every script that wants to use those functions can include them using the "." line presented earlier.

by definition, if you code to the best of your ability,
you are not capable of debugging it.

I can't read that link (I am not a member of that site so it simply brings me to a login page).
