Judging from the number of times this post has been read without response. I am not alone in not understanding the problem.

Please expand your post, explaining carefully what you are trying to do, and where you need help. An example or two would help. Please make it clear which parameters are variable and which parameters are fixed.

Btw. We would normally assume that multiple references to say "a.sh" means the same script. A recursive call to the same script will eventually fail. How deep you can go with a recursive call will depend on the Operating System and the Shell which you are using.
