¡Hola Raúl!  Espero que te encuentres muy bien.

I'm not sure if this handles the case that you're concerned about, but
when I want to make a script "sourceable" as well as executable, I do
this:

  #!/bin/zsh
  (
    # all script stuff goes here
  )

Yes, it causes an extra fork, but that's the price I pay for this dual
sourceable/executable capability.
