'bash' is a red herring in this case. Try this:

batch1.bat:
REM This is batch1.bat
batch2.bat test
echo back from batch2.bat
exit

batch2.bat:
REM this is batch2.bat
echo %1
echo bash
echo %1


When I execute batch1.bat in a DOS window, I never get the echo back from batch2.bat. Notice I removed the exit from batch2.bat. Methinks that invoking batch2.bat replaces the current process (in UNIX speak) so that the rest of batch1.bat is never executed.

And now that I have shown this thread to have no Cygwin content whatsoever, I think it is time to end it. Or else, we're flame-bait for sure.
