Ummm...  I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "an outside function", but
let's refer to that function as f(). Are you saying you want to re-implement
f() to use your new object but don't want to (or can't) change calls to f()?

    If so, then you can either use a global reference to your new object if
it is the sort of thing you want to keep around between invocations of f()
(i.e., create your object somewhere and then save in a scope that f() can
access). Otherwise, you can simply instantiate your object inside of f() as
a local variable and use it.

    If you mean something else, I guess you will have to clarify.
