Sorry, I exagerrated the problem, and it may not have anything to do with GUIKit. The example I gave actually works fine with or without the semicolons. But I have recently run into the problem of syntax errors coming up when reading a .m file into a Script. The problem seemed to that two consecutive commands were run together, and putting semicolons in solved the problem. Maybe this is an issue with Get[] more generally then just with GUIKit, or maybe there's something I don't understand about Get[] and .m files.
