If you want it to return a value, I think there is no simple way except for some weird constructs with
SET TEXT to lcScript
   set path to ...
   myVar = myProce()
  _cliptext = myVar
ENDTEXT

execscript(lcScript)
Otherwise

you can do

do myPath\MyProcedure with myParameters.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
