if i'm understanding this is just using the python "import".
you can import any python file and access all of its globals..

import mymodule
mymodule.myfunction()

if you are talking about a secondary module calling functions that are 
available in the main module things get a little trickier. this is a 
'circular import'. you'll probably need to move the "common" functions from 
the main module into a third module. sometimes this isn't easy to do. 
sometimes the only way around tricky circular imports is to redesign things 
a little.
