Cutting in one direction in glass tubing will reduce the places the glass will crack and break. Cutting in multiple directions greatly increases the chance of the glass tubing completely shattering when you break it off.

Why is it necessary to make a deep scratch around the glass tubing to be cut with single stroke in one direction?
It is not necessary to score tubing to be cut all the way around. Depending on the diameter anything from a small nick to a 5mm - 10mm scratch is enough. If you wet the scratch then dab on it with a molten piece of glass it will crack evenly all the way around. The cutting on one direction has one purpose. If you go over scratches more than once with your knife, it will blunt your tungsten carbide blade very quickly, as the small amount of glass dust in the scratch acts as an abrasive.

Most commonly it's used to score small diameter glass tubing before breaking it so that it will break cleanly instead of shattering. Don't attempt to saw through the tubing with the file. If it won't break cleanly with a light score, you'll need to use a different technique such as scribing followed by thermal shock.
