I would stick the mata code inside a mata function and store that in 
a separate .do file, than in the remaining .do file I would add the
lines

run foo.do 
mata foo()

where foo.do is the name of the .do file that creates your mata function
and foo() is the name of the that function.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
