MATLAB: Executing independent scripts sequentially

MATLABrunsequentiallywait

Hello everyone,
I have a script that calls several other scripts with the 'run' command:
run('script1.m');
run('script2.m');
run('script3.m');
However, I think script2 is executed as soon as script1 has started. This can cause some problems, eg if both scripts have control variables of the same name. What I want is for MATLAB to wait until script1 finishes before running script2. I don't want to make the scripts into functions because I have to run them on their own sometimes.
What would be the best way to do this?
Thanks!

This should work. What if you just call the scripts by name instead of using the run command? 
% other code
script1
script2
script3
% rest of this script
Look through the advice in this post to see if that helps.
