Calling admin defined functions from catalog files?

I have some functions in admin/functions/extra_functions that I'd like to call from catalog files instead of re-defining them again. Should I just "include" the files or ZC has some kind of support for that?

Thank you,

Re: Calling admin defined functions from catalog files?

Just copy the file to your catalog extra_functions folder.
Or write a file to do the include yourself.
It's not really wise to attempt to include admin files ... but rather the other way around.
What happens if you rename your admin folder? Suddenly your store goes offline because it can't load the files that you forgot about.

So lets say I do it the other way around, I'll have to manually include the file from catalog extra_functions right?
