There's no reason why the script must run when it's loaded into an
interactive environment.  The interactive environment can easily provide
the following two procedures:

  (load-script <script-name>) => <script-object>
  (invoke-script <script-object> <command-name> <argument> ...)

Something like this should be provided even with your model to allow the
top-level forms in the script's library to be debugged.

Anyway, I don't think your model makes debugging any easier, and it may
prevent one from debugging multiple scripts at the same time do to the
restriction that they all define the same library name.
