kotlinc -script with multiple files

Question

I have a Kotlin script which I'm using for testing. In order to run it quickly, I'm using kotlinc -script to evaluate it which prints me the result straight away in the console.

Now, when the script becomes big enough, I want to split it into different submodules/packages. Is it possible to evaluate a script with multiple files with kotlinc?

Note, the setup is only intended for testing purposes that's the reason I don't want to compile it, to avoid an extra step. Imagine doing it stright from the console and you don't want to set up a project with Gradle.

Thanks.

Looks like kscript is the answer.

1. Install kscript
2. Import required file: //INCLUDE directory/requiredFile.kts
3. You can call functions from the requiredFile.kts now.
4. Run your file with kscript ./mainScript.kts, you may need to chmod +x mainScript.kts

If anyone knows how to do it directly with kotlinc let me know.
