Hi,

You could put all your code in one file or make a general preprocessing TCL file that calls other TCL files, e.g.:

QSF: 

set_global_assignment -name PRE_FLOW_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:preprocessing.tcl"

Contents of preprocessing.tcl: 

source compile_timestamp_make.tcl
source compile_svn_revision_make.tcl

The "source" keyword is a TCL command that evaluates another file as TCL code. See the tcl documentation (http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tclcmd/source.htm).

Hope this helps!
