I think its about global name sharing and clobbering each other
MYDIR =: pattern to set current dir
load 'MYDIR/subdir/file1.ijs' (will change MYDIR if same name used to track)
load 'MYDIR/file2.ijs' (wrong MYDIR)
one solution is to repeat the anonymous 4!:4 { 4!:3 expression instead of
assigning its result. The other is to organize files into a sense of hierarchy
such that global variables TOPDIR, MAINSUBDIR are part of the application and
may always be set before "deep" files are loaded.
A somewhat related request (already at System/Interpreter/Requests ) is to
allow an optional left arg to 0!:n , but on second thought, the only relation
is to remind you of it :P

I was thinking the same thing, and when I look in the interpreter, I
find that the script index IS stacked and restored in jtlinf().
Can someone show a simple example of how the script-index field in an
entity gets corrupted?
