I think that works from the commandline, but not in a function file. 
Try putting your function definition in a string and call 
eval(function_string). If you have a recent version of octave you can 
also put subfunctions in a function file, so you would then have to 
change your script to a function and then below the testing function 
define the f function.

Hope that helps.
