Yes, I have source()-ed recursively without problems before. Try sourcing the second script on its own and see what errors it has.
I have download lkpack.zip (http://www.mep.ki.se/~yudpaw/likelihood/lkpack.zip) and source("EX2-13.R") and source("li.r") which is called without problem. The timestamp appears to show that it was not modified recently. Are you sure you have the latest version ?
