APparently, from "man psql", -c can do only one thing at a time. But you could do this with 2-3 commands (or 1 if you want to wrap the 2 up in a shell script or something). Here's an example...

psql --dbname mydb -c "\i create_try.sql;"
psql --dbname mydb -c "select trythis('foo');"
psql --dbname mydb -c "drop function trythis(varchar);"
Or just put everything in one file and use -f <filename>
And from the more than one way to skin a cat department:
cat my.sql | psql mydb
psql mydb < my.sql
Bearing in mind that although both mine and Scott's cats are skinless,
mine gave me line numbers in error messages.
