What exactly do you mean by "link 2 seperate m-files" ?

You don't actually "link" m-files together, you create a script (or another function) that calls the two successively. Or, if they're always used together but it's handy for factorization to have them as two functions, the one which is called by the other can become a subfunction within the same file. In this case that second function is not visible outside the file, however, only accessible to the primary function in the file. This may (or may not) be the behavior desired; all depends on your needs.

I created two m - files with different different function. Then I create the 3rd m - file, how can generate a code so that the 1st and 2nd files can be run in the 3rd file using if else statement?

[Walter Roberson]

if rand() > 0.5
  name_of_first_file;
else
  name_of_second_file;
end

If I conditions were using 1 or 2 should be the same?

[Walter Roberson]

if value_to_test == 1
  name_of_first_file;
else
  name_of_second_file;
end
