What you actually need is to do whatever someFunc does inside the
success function. If it depends on the result of the ajax call, then
forget someFunc and someVar.
Why can't you just do it like this?
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: requestURL,
success: function(msg){
// do the thing someFunc does with someVar
}
});
