I am using this UDF https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/155674-commapi-serial-and-parallel-communication-with-windows-api/ to send and rebeber data from COM1 and works great but I need to receive the same data in two scripts open at once, you can do this without opening the same door two times?

AFAIK the OS won't let you open the same COM port (physical or virtual [USB]) by more than a single process at a time. This isn't true for block devices but serial ports aren't block type.

Have one script handle the port and use IPC to communicate with the two "real" scripts. That or one master and one slave. If that was allowed, what would occur if process A sets baud rate 2400, 8-bit, even parity, Xon/Xoff while process B sets baud rate 115200, 7-bit, no parity, hardware handshake and both processes write at the same port concurrently? Havoc!

Any fast enough IPC will do. For instance search the forum for MailSlot by trancexx.
