Sure, ever heard of a variable? ;-)

It's not the best programming practice, but as a quick fix, just have
script1 set some global variables that script2 is aware of, and then
have script1 call script2 many times.

Of course, the more robust practice is to turn script2 into a function
and localise the variables, and it's only marginally more work to do
so. Are you familiar with how functions work in Octave?
