Puppet users - Nov 2012 - Relationship for a called function?

If you define a custom function in *lib/puppet/parser/functions *can it be 
executed with a *before *or* require *relationship applied?

Without this I don''t understand the logic behind when it will be
called,
considering relationships make the literal ordering of code in a manifest 
irrelevant to a degree.

Any information would be gratefully received.

Sincere thanks

Neither, functions are executed during catalog compilation on the master.
Resources in the catalog are applied in the order of their relationship on
the client. The first rule in the documentation applies here:
