[wp-hackers] Scope for functions in a theme

[Benedict Eastaugh]

You can only call WordPress functions in files which are included by
WordPress, so that's any of the template files (index.php,
archive.php, page.php, search.php etc.) and functions.php. If you want
to call WordPress functions in any other file then they must be
included by one of those template files or functions.php.
