I'm not sure if I understood your problem, but if I save the following lines 
with all cells marked as initialisation cells in a notebook with associated 
.m-file named Firlefanz.nb (and .m):

Print["first action"];

Print["second action"];

Ask[q_] := Print[q <> "?"];

and restart Mathematica and enter some lines of code, I get the following output:

In[1]:=
<< "firlefanz.m"
 From In[1]:=
"first action"
 From In[1]:=
"second action"
In[2]:=
Ask["So what"]
 From In[2]:=
"So what?"
