How to import functions without addpath

I have a main.m script that uses code from multiple folders. Is there a way to access files in those folders without addpath? I'm looking for something like Python, for example: import directory1.my_function

I'm not aware of something like that.

scripts (but not functions) can be accessed using run() including a directory.

Functions must be on the path, or in a package or class on the path, or in the current directory or in a directory named "private" relative to current directory.

It is not possible to call a function that is not on the path.

A work-around can be to cd to the directory that contains the function, and use @ to take a handle to it and cd back. The handle records the path.
