Functions, contained in

   if (0)
    ...
   endif

blocks in script file get compiled after running that file.


E.g. let facfun.m be the file:

------------
NOT_FUNCTIONAL_FILE=1;

if (0)
   function y=facina(x)
      y=x.^3;
   endfunction
  
   B=2;

endif
------------

Running facfun causes the compilation of function facina, but variable B
is not created. 
Is this the expected behaviour of Octave?
