Ketan,
Are workflows not the way to go for this?
We have similar tools that are usually run in sequence. We made them all 
separate to allow reusing them elsewhere. For these linked tools one could 
write a superscript/wrapper or design a workflow which can be public or 
privately shared.
Best wishes,
Alex

Onderwerp: Re: [galaxy-dev] running tools within tool

Galaxy has an API that is capable of running tools - certainly this is one path 
forward on something like this. I am not sure it is the best path forward 
though. Probably the best way to enhance Galaxy's execution capabilities is to 
extend the Galaxy core framework itself - this has its own downsides though.

If you can offer more details about how you would like to enhance Galaxy - what 
it cannot do that you would like it to do - I or others may be able to provide 
more specific ideas. Otherwise, sorry I have not been or more help.

-John
