Matlab has a huge namespace problem:

Octave has to mimic this problem. There is no simple solution for you.
The only advice I an offer is to not clobber the namespace.

For your particular case, depending on what you're doing, it sounds
like you want something like polymorphism. You can use old-style
classes to accomplish this:
