[racket] Call by Name

In the module where all those functions live, export a collection that
contains references to all of those functions and then iterate over
it:

#lang racket

(provide (all-defined-out))

(define (test1) (display 1))
(define (test2) (display 2))
(define (test3) (display 3))

(define all-functions
  (list test1
        test2
        test3))

In the module where you use it you can do this:

#lang racket

(require "foo.rkt")

(for-each (λ (test) (test)) all-functions)

You can do it dynamically but I think it is too much of a hassle.
