Barb;  Yes, a script is allowed to have multiple endpoints.  Each end
module can be called independently.  The SPARQLMotion engine will
determine which modules to run from an end module by backtracing the
"prerequisites" (all sm:next properties) for each module.

In this way, the kind of reuse you are asking for is supported without
needing a branch statement.  Take one of your scripts and extend it
with the desired next transitions of the second script.  (Basically
the union of the two scripts.)

As a simple example, assume you had a script that wanted to export as
a text file or rdf file.  The script can look like this:
  ImportFromZZZ sm:next ApplyZZZ
  ApplyZZZ sm:next ExportToRDFFile
  ApplyZZZ sm:next ExportToTextFile

Choosing either 'ExportToTextFile' or 'ExportToRDFFile' will execute
'ImportFromZZZ', then 'ApplyZZZ', followed by the selected end module.

I assume you are using BranchByAsk?  Note that the result of this
module is passed to the next module through sm:next. I.e. sm:if and
sm:else process the input and pass results to sm:next.
