Richard,
Neither removing the if/else nor the function_exists() not call worked.
If I declared the function in the same file I called it works even
when defining it after the call.
If the function is declaring in a different file than the one I call
it in and I include the files after the call, it simply doesn't work.
Unless I did something subtly wrong or am back on the drugs.
This SEEMS contrary to the documentation.
The "issue" occurs in PHP-CLI 4.4.4, PHP 5.2.1, and PHP 5.2.2.
I'll files a bug report in the hope of an explanation but I'm pretty
sure that it isn't considered a bug.

Hello,
According to the PHP manual on functions (http://www.php.net/manual/
en/language.functions.php):
"In PHP 3, functions must be defined before they are referenced. No
such requirement exists since PHP 4. Except when a function is
conditionally defined..."
Does moving the require BEFORE the if/else change anything?
If that is true then why does the following not work as I expect?
Not sure, really...
Seems like you're right, but maybe I'm also missing something.
If you take out the 'require' statements, and just put c inside a,
does it work?
I expect the result to be "Function was called!" but it actually is
"Function test() does not exist!".
Perhaps the if (function_exists()) business is trying to be "smart"
and is run because at the time it was compiled, the function didn't
exist, so you could define the function there -- which is a much more
common idiom than what you are doing, truth to tell...
