Question #225815 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Since execfile() runs the code in the context of your mainscript, using
exit() will always terminate your whole script.

Normally, one would pack the code of each script into a def(), import the subscript (which would solve the image problem too) and call the def, which simply returns, when finished.
see http://doc.sikuli.org/globals.html#importing-other-sikuli-scripts-reuse-code-and-images
 
If you do not want to do that, the easiest (as few changes as possible) way to achieve what you want, is to use
raise SystemExit

instead of 
exit()

in your "batch" scripts

your main script then needs to catch this exception:

...
scripts = ["step1","step2","step3"]
for script in scripts:
       scriptPath = os.path.join(Base_dir, script+".sikuli")
       if not scriptPath in sys.path:
              sys.path.append(scriptPath)
       try:        
              execfile(os.path.join(scriptPath, script+".py"))
       except SystemExit:
              pass # do nothing in this case
...

all other exceptions will stop the main script
