My version of FMP does not have that option on the scripmaker menu.
Here is my structure:
File A, Script 1 calls
File A, Script 2 calls
File B, Script 5 (This script is never executed)
File A, Script 3
File B, Script 6

There is another choice - and that would be to uncheck "Perform
Sub-Scripts" - don't know why you would want this but it is a possibility.
EVERY script that calls another must have "Perform Sub-Scripts" enabled in
the call to it.
So, is your issue that the other scripts do fire but don't do what you
want or that they do not fire at all?
I just took a look at one of more complex routines in FMP 5.5.
File "A" Script "A" calls File "A" Script "B".
File "A" Script "B" calls File "B" Script "A".
File "B" Script "A" calls File "B" Script "B" which exports text file.
File "B" Script "B" calls File "C" Script "A" which imports text file.
File "C" Script "A" calls File "C" Script "B".
File "C" Script "B" calls File "C" Script "C".
File "C" Script "C" calls File "C" Script "D" which exports text file.
File "A" Script "A" imports text file.
Done.
Other possibilities could be errant Halt Scripts or Exit Scripts.

Yes. There is no other choice. As soon as one specifies another db, then
the option is enabled. This also must be so because Performing the small
script does indeed fire in the other db.

Not exactly. The small subscripts are in the same file as the master
script and called from it. But if the small script calls subscript in
another file, then the subscript in that other file is never executed.
It is totally ignored.
Did you ensure the "Perform Sub-scripts" option was enabled in all
scripts involved?
