Here's an example of the idea, in Python:

    def messageA():
        print 'Message A received!'

    def messageB(otherMessage):
        print 'Message B received!  Sending some other message.'
        otherMessage()

    messageB(messageA)

Since this is a basic feature of Python, we usually don't call them messages.  Instead, "functions" or sometimes "methods".
