You can compile multiple files with mkoctfile:

  mkoctfile mainfunction.cc sub1.c sub2.f objectfile.o -lmylib

or you can use it like a compiler linker:

  mkoctfile -c mainfunction.cc
  mkoctfile -c sub1.c
  mkoctfile -c sub2.f
  ...
  mkoctfile mainfunction.o sub1.o sub2.o objectfile.o -lmylib

Or are you asking how to call Fortran and C functions from the
function you define with DEFUN in the main C++ file that you use to
define the function that Octave can call?
