In fact, what the function is returning is the most important. So knowing that
the parameters and the number of parameters of my.func defined by the user
could
be different from one definition to another, how to use what my.func returns in
other functions? Moreover, if the function is defined by the user in an R
session, it is then defined globally. In this case, does it need to be passed
as
a parameter? Note that my.func defined by me is loaded before.

Subject: Re: [R] Evaluation of variable assigned to a function name
Wel, just let the user give the function in form of an argument, say
"foo", and use your code so that
bar <- function(x, ....., foo){
if(missing(foo)) foo <- Namespace::my.func
.....
}
but perhaps I misunderstood your question.
