passing arguments between function files

Anyone know how to allow multiple files as input for one function file?

Please explain any details of your problem.
not going to explain this very well but;I have 2 function files, call them funcX, funcY which have as output 2 parameters, X and Y and I want them to be read by a third function file funcZ as input to form say, Z from those X and Y. What syntax should I use to pass them in those 3 files?
Do you mean something like: Z = max(sin(0.2), cos(0.3))? max, sin and cos are functions also.
Usually it helps to understand the problem, if you post, what you have tried so far.
(No obvious reason to close this question, but one of the Answers should be Accepted.)

% Define a function to take mulitple filenames and return multiple outputs.
function [output1 output2 output3] = yourFunction(filename1, filename2, filename3)

thanks! that seemed to help somehow but not completely...
Why not? That's how you define a function to take multiple inputs and return multiple outputs. You call it almost the same way, just don't use the function word:
% Call the function.
[output1 output2 output3] = yourFunction(filename1, filename2, filename3);
thank you! and sorry, no, you're right, I know that much. i just didnt explain my question well. what I meant was that i have 2 separate function files that have as output X and Y and I want them to both be passed into a new function file, funcZ. how should i both call and define the function?
If funcx and funcy both return an x and a y, how about
[x1 y1] = funcx();
[x2 y2] = funcy();
zOutput = funcz(x1, y1, x2, y2);
or using an alternate interpretation of your wording:
x = funcx();
y = funcy();
zOutput = funcz(x, y);
(This is what Walter said except that I'm capturing the outputs into arrays in the main program first before I pass them into funcz.)
Z = funcZ( funcX(), funcY() );
disp(Z);
function Z = funcZ( X, Y )
Z = .... appropriate code ...
end
function X = funcX()
X = .... appropriate code ...
end
function Y = funcY()
Y = .... appropriate code ...
end

Thanks!this seems the closest to what I wanted...but in which file should I put each line of code? its giving me an error for Z = funcZ( funcX(), funcY() ); which im putting in files funcX and funcY. should it not be Z = funcZ( funcX(X), funcY(Y) )?
this: function Z = funcZ( X, Y ) Z = .... appropriate code ... end i have in funcZ.
You said that X is an output of funcX and Y is an output of funcY, so you should not be passing X or Y into funcX and funcY
Put the following into testfuncZ.m :
Z = funcZ( funcX(), funcY() );
disp(Z);
Then put the funcZ code into funcZ.m and the funcX code into funcX.m and the funcY code into funcY.m . Invoke it all by giving the command
testfuncZ
