There are a handful of ways that you can approach the issues you're
trying to solve:
1. Functions can contain other functions:
file:some_function.fish
-----------------------
function some_function --description "foo bar baz"
function helper_function
# do something
end
set somevar (helper_function "arg")
# do something
end
-----------------------
2. autoloaded functions can call other autoloaded functions (double
underscore is typically used to denote "private" functions):
file:__helper_function.fish
-----------------------
function __helper_function --description "helper function"
# do something
end
-----------------------
file:some_function1.fish
-----------------------
function some_function1 --description "foo bar baz"
set somevar (__helper_function "arg")
# do something
end
-----------------------
file:some_function2.fish
-----------------------
function some_function2 --description "quux muux bazinga"
set somevar (__helper_function "arg")
# do something
end
-----------------------
