Here's a couple of ways to try:

1. Use "Start up" script to execute scripts in the other files.

2. Establish some relationships. Put a field from each relationship on your "Start up" layout, but hide them behind a back drop.

You get more control with 1. as you can execute specific script steps in each of the files.
