Since I plan to distribute these, I need my load script functions (each speaking script uses two "libraries") to be relative. I know there is the usual way with Finder (tell Finder to get parent of (path to me)), but since each script will execute completely each time the user invokes it, not stay open, that is two loads and two calls to Finder each time the user wants, say, the time, to say nothing of any shell commands the script does.

It's not clear, so I'll ask: Are these scripts intended for use by a particular application or are they to be used by various different applications?
