If you define a custom function in lib/puppet/parser/functions can it be executed with a before or require relationship applied?

Without this I don't understand the logic behind when it will be called, considering relationships make the literal ordering of code in a manifest irrelevant to a degree.

Neither, functions are executed during catalog compilation on the master. Resources in the catalog are applied in the order of their relationship on the client. The first rule in the documentation applies here:
