Running AutoIt Scripts Sequentially

[newuser1234]

Hello,

I currently have 4 scripts that I am using to pull data from a website, each pulling the same data but over a different period of time. I would like to be able to run each of these scripts via "one click", but I would need to spread them out so that the run sequentially in that no two of them are downloading data simultaneously. I know that I could do this manually by staggering each script by pausing it, but I was wondering if there was a more elegant solution but I find myself unable to find any information. 

Thanks in advance!

If you had a 5th script that just ran the 4 current scripts using RunWait, would that serve your purpose?

RunWait("script1.exe")
RunWait("script2.exe")
RunWait("script3.exe")
RunWait("script4.exe")

You could just combine them to one script and have each script contents in a function and just call functions sequentially.

Script1()
Script2()
Script3()

Func Script1()
;script contents
Endfunc

Func Script2()
; Script2 contents
EndFunc

;ect

Edit: on second thought that probably won't work if you have custom functions declared in the scripts..... thinking 

O you could #include  the scripts in like the master script.  Put the body of the secondary scripts in functions and then call the functions as I described above.

This actually worked great! Didn't realize that it'd be that simple. Thank you both for the help!
