Can someone help me know is there a way to call 1 EA from another EA in mt4?
For example, with an indicator, i can use iCustom to call an indicator, but with EA, I don't know if there is a way?

Not possible and not necessary. Just put them on separate charts (with different magic numbers.) And it's not allowed.

You could add the EA's Code to the code of the EA that you want to do the coding. And make it work the way you wish

As one solution, you can always use sockets for any inter-application communication but it depends what exactly do you want to achieve with that and if it will be really usable for the task.
Also you have to run all the EAs that would take part in the "communication" (they don't need to be on same terminal or same terminal type either - so mt4 to mt5 or vice versa, is quite simple) but they have to be "up and running"
