In each called script, put:

set scriptName [file tail [set scriptPath [info script]]]
set basedir [file dirname $scriptPath]
source [file join $basedir <your-libname-here>]


The above code produces a relative path not an absolute one. You need to change your source to read:

source [file normalize [file join $basedir <your-libname-here>]]
