If I understand your question correctly, you want to run a script which calls multiple commands all of which are redirected to a single logfile. You can redirect the STDOUT and STDERR upon entry into the calling script. All subsequent commands will inherit the redirection from the calling script.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

    exec 1>>/var/log/script.log 2>&1

    command1
    command2
    command3

One short-coming would be that you would not necessarily know which command generated which errors unless they're sufficiently different. By adding an echo before each command, you would know in which command you were when messages were generated.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

    exec 1>>/var/log/script.log 2>&1

    echo "$0 (I) Starting command1"
    command1
    echo "$0 (I) Starting command2"
    command2
    echo "$0 (I) Starting command3"
    command3

Upon reflection, I don't think I'm grasping the problem. Could you please provide a little more detail? Thanks.

BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)

NAME

       search2tribe - Turn SearchIO parseable reports(s) into TRIBE matrix

SYNOPSIS

       Usage:
	 search2tribe [-o outputfile] [-f reportformat] [-w/--weight] file1 file2 ..

DESCRIPTION

       This script is probably too slow for most people's uses.  It is better to use something like scripts/searchio/fastam9_to_table, -m 9 output
       from BLAST, or the blast2table from the BLAST O'Reilly book to get a tabular output from these programs and then feed the table into MCL
       with the mcxdeblast script and the --m9 option.

       This script will turn a protein Search report (BLASTP, FASTP, SSEARCH) into a Markov Matrix for TribeMCL clustering.

       The options are:

	  -o filename	       - the output filename [default STDOUT]
	  -f format	       - search result format (blast, fasta)
				 (ssearch is fasta format). default is blast.
	  -w or --weight VALUE - Change the default weight for E(0.0) hits
				 to VALUE (default=200 (i.e. 1e-200) )
	  -h		       - this help menu

       Additionally specify the filenames you want to process on the command-line.  If no files are specified then STDIN input is assumed.  You
       specify this by doing: search2tribe < file1 file2 file3
