What is the best way for one BRS file (that does not have an associated XML file) to reference a function within another BRS file (that does have an associated XML file)?

[EnTerr]

There is no "best way". It either works or it doesn't
Be more specific!
The typical Brightscript behavior is that all files in /source are included automatically and visible (i.e. the main thread).
In XMLophony though, only the explicitly <script> included sources are visible.

In A.brs file (located under the folder: "/components/screens/A), I have the following function: 

Function foo()
  ? 'foo()$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'
end Function

In a different file (B.brs located under the folder "/source"), I try to make reference to the foo() method like so:

foo()

But this causes a runtime error.

What am I doing wrong? How do I ensure the B.brs file has a reference to the A.brs file.

You need to put an additional <script> tag into your component xml file

But I want to make a reference from B to A. B does not have a corresponding XML file.

Who is executing or including the B file?
If the functions in B.brs are executed as part of main() thread, so should A.brs file be part of /source.

Yes, the mating between RSG and  Brightscript has been grossly mismanaged (or "fork"ed up, if you will)... but we all knew that already.
