Try:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
c=100
d=102

. file1.sh >/dev/null
var

echo $a
echo $b

echo $c
echo $d

You could use a DEBUG variable, file1.sh echoes the line if DEBUG is set.

file1.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
c=100
d=102
 
# DEBUG=on
DEBUG=

. file1.sh
var()
 
echo $a
echo $b
 
echo $c
echo $d

file2.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -z "$DEBUG" ]; then
  echo "this is first file"
fi 

function var()
{
  a=10
  b=11
}
 
function var_1()
{
  c=12
  d=13
}
