The input to tsort can be provided as in this example:
$ tsort <<EOF
a b c
b c d e
EOF
If I have two files as inputs instead,
a
b
c
and
b
c
d
e
how can I provide the two files in bash as inputs to tsort ? Thanks.

You need to put all entries of each file into a single line.
You can do so with an unquoted $(...) which will split on whitespace (and that includes newline) and then you can use echo on it to print the arguments into a single line.
This should work:
{ echo $(cat file1)
echo $(cat file2)
} | tsort
This should produce the same output as your example does.
UPDATE: The input of tsort is broken on any whitespace, so preserving each file's contents in a single line isn't really important.
In that case, this should be enough:
cat file1 file2 | tsort
Though in your example, you don't really have a number of pairs, there is an odd number of items in your file1. As you noticed already, that is a problem for tsort.
