Hi,

My Jenkinsfile is getting rather large and i want to break it down into 
different groovy scripts for easy maintenance. Here is a sample code 
structure.


externalScripts = ''

pipeline {
    agent master
stages {
        
stage('first') {
            
agent { label 'master' }
steps {
script {
loadScripts()
externalScripts.functionA()
}
}
}
}
stage('second') {
            
agent { label 'some_slave_node' }
steps {
script {
externalScripts.functionB()
}
}
}
}
}

def someGlobalFunction() {
// some common code
}

def loadScripts() {

externalScripts = load 'script_next_to_jenkinsfile.groovy'
}


This works fine if i have some independent code defined in external groovy 
file. But this breaks if i call a function defined in main Jenkinsfile. 

// contents of script_next_to_jenkinsfile.groovy

def functionA() {
// Some regular code will work just fine
}

def functionB() {

   // this throws an error - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No such DSL 
method 'someGlobalFunction' found among steps....

    someGlobalFunction()
}
return this



I thought the groovy files are loaded in the whole code. How can i make it 
work like this setup ?
