@PRASHANTHI SATH ,  You can execute the script include in the following manner,

If your script include looks like the one given below:

var TestDemoFunc = Class.create();
TestDemoFunc.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
    },
	returnSomething:function(sysId){
		gs.info('Inside Script Include');
		//process some logic using sysID
		return 'Hello';
	},
	executeSomething:function(){
		gs.info('Execute Something');
	},

    type: 'TestDemoFunc'
};

Then go the Business rule and click on Advanced tab, from there you can invoke the script include as shown below:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

	// Add your code here
	//Exeute the script include and store the result
	var storedValue = new global.TestDemoFunc().returnSomething(current.sys_id);
	gs.info('Stored Value is:'+storedValue);
	//Just execute the script include
	new global.TestDemoFunc().executeSomething();
})(current, previous);

You can take the help of the current object and pass it to your function in the script include. Attaching the screenshots for your reference. 

Kindly mark my response as helpful if it helped you and let me know if you have any questions further.

Thanks,
