  When you call a MEL function that is not defined, first Maya will
look in the scripts search path for a script with the same name and
.mel extension, so in this case you just need to call the function and
everything works automagically. If function name and file name do not
match, you can still load the file explicitly with

source "my_script_file.mel";

  You can omit the extension if it is ".mel". What you must be sure is
to define the function as global to be available outside this script
file. Example:

global proc maya2osg_removeOptionVars()
{
  ...
}
