I do it regularly here on OS 9.  Interleaving occurs on the worksheet that 
called the other worksheet  to be executed in full.  Of course OS 9 doesn't 
have an executable bit. All text files are executable in MPW.  One thing I like 
to do is to make the first few lines in scraps of C code separated off by 

#IFDEF nonsense
commands
EXIT
#ENDIF

Those commands can be the call to a compiler and linker so executing the C 
source code amounts to a compilation with all the libraries I need.

And yes I can use BBEdit 6.5 to create those scripts too.

And there was a time when BBEdit worksheets were plain text. The XML bit using 
both 0A and 0D line ends is a PITA that I think I shall never discover a reason 
for. You can't even open them as plain files in BBEdit.
