Here's one way to do it. In this case, this script calls the other script at the end of doing its thing.

var otherScript = File(getScriptPath().parent.absoluteURI + "/Other.jsx"); 
if (!otherScript.exists) { 
  // This clicks in only if you change the name of the script or move it 
  var otherScript = File.openDialog("Please locate the other script"); 
  if (otherScript == null) { exit() } // User canceled 
} 
app.doScript(otherScript);

function getScriptPath() { 
  // This function returns the path to the active script, even when running ESTK 
  try { 
    return app.activeScript; 
  } catch(e) { 
    return File(e.fileName); 
  } 
}
