Running a batch of scripts

Question

I've got a batch of scripts to run.
I've run batches of scripts many times but I'm looking for a smarter way of doing it.
I would like to be able to create a sql script that will run a batch of other scripts - but pass in the connection string.
At the moment I use a script like this:
set echo on
spool cr_run_all
conn cat1/cat1
--tables
@./cr_table_x_cat1.sql
@./cr_table_y_cat2.sql
@./cr_table_x_cat1.sql
@./cr_table_y_cat2.sql
--indexes
@./cr_index_x_p_cat1.sql
@./cr_index_y_p_cat2.sql
--function
@./cr_fn_x_cat1.sql
@./cr_fn_x_cat2.sql
--procedures
@./cr_pr_x_cat1.sql
@./cr_pr_y_cat1.sql
@./cr_pr_z_cat1.sql
--packages
@./cr_pk_x_cat1.sql
@./cr_pk_x_cat2.sql
@./cr_pk_y_cat1.sql
@./cr_pk_y_cat2.sql
spool off
exit
Each script in turn has it's own connect string as the scripts are connecting as different users - cat1 & cat2 - I would like to make each script connect to a particular instance.
Is it possible to create a sql script to run the other scripts that could pass the connect string for the instance to the scripts?
This would save me having to put the connect string into each and every script.

Hi
You can call connect between scripts:
@./cr_table_y_cat2.sql
--indexes
conn cat2/cat2
@./cr_index_x_p_cat1.sql
Or
conn cat1/cat1
@./all_script.sql
conn cat2/cat2
@./all_script.sql
