Not sure how your script is looking like. But probably you used one script-line using the LoadPlaylist mode.
This mode is designed to exactly load that playlist in the order defined by it.

To do what you want to achieve, create a playlist based media library and use that playlist for it.
In you script you can now use the 'Sequential' mode and reference your related media lib with it.
It will now start at 1 pick the tracks....
Once the program is over it remembers the last picked track from that media lib and the next time the media lib is used, it will continue from there.

There is one complication. Typically when a program runs, the tracks are scheduled in advance (see the 'Look Ahead' option in the general settings). Those last tracks however might not be effectively be played out, because they are over-scheduled.

To also overcome this you create another script (which you then effectively use in your program) - let's call the initial Script 'Test1' and the new one Test2 (and specify LoopLine=2).
In this 2nd script you now define 2 script-lines:
1. Execute, Test1 (see picture below and specify 02:00:00)
2. Random, OtherLib

Just create a new script and use the script-line as you defined the repeating order, e.g. assume you have media lib called "NormalSongs" and a media lib called "ClassisSongs", as well as a catwall lib called "Jingles", than your scipt-lines would look like this:
1. LeastRecentlyPlayed, NormalSongs, Count=1
2. LeastRecentlyPlayed, NormalSongs, Count=1
3. LeastRecentlyPlayed, NormalSongs, Count=1
4. Cartwall, Jingles, Count=1
5. LeastRecentlyPlayed, ClassicSongs, Count=1

Note, that each script loops once it has reached its end. As such, after line 5., it will again start over again with line 1.

I am afraid I don't fully get your question/issue.

When you created a new script, you of course need to use that within the Program Scheduler, i.e. for a program scheduler entry you need to assign the script.
Note, that an already running program would be changed immediately, but the program would only use that script effectively with the next start of a program which uses that script.
