You should do something like

pf1000 = read("pf1000"); 

\r ellpool.gp

That is, do not mix data and code:
-- use \r to read GP code 
-- use data=read("datafile") to read data 

Do not write GP code in your data file, that is write
[1,2,3]
and not
data=[1,2,3]

If you need to read several data, you can use readvec.
