Based on your pseudo code, I am probably assuming you want to terminate
the rest of the current script when it conditionally branches to one of
your branch scripts. If so, make sure it does. 

Your pseudo code should more closely resemble the below statements if
what I presumed is correct. 

=======================================================================
//script begin
//script code common to all conditions...
If ($cost < 100) {
    //execute branch script-a.php (could be with a header statement)
    //exit current script
} else if ($cost > 1000) {
    //execute branch script-b.php (could be with a header statement)
    //exit current script
} else {
    //carry on with the rest of the script. 
}
...
//script code only applicable to the third 'default' case if any
//script end
========================================================================

You can also consider an alternative approach based on Jon's solution
that obviates the need for specific exit statements with header()
redirections (and the additional work that may be involved with pushing
potential GET/POST data you want to send to that redirected script if
you are not or decide not to pass the data via session variables).

//script begin
//common script code applicable to all three cases...
Switch (true) {
  Case ($cost < 100):
      include 'script-a.php';
      break;
  Case ($cost > 1000)
      include 'script-b.php';
      Break;
  Default:
      //Put in all specific statements that need to be executed
      //when $cost fails to meet above two conditions
}
//common script code applicable to all three cases
//end of script
