Invoke other module functions from PHP action [#2656306]

Hi, I'm trying to run some PHP as an action. I am a little fuzzy about what Drupal API call I can make there. I am trying to invoke functions from another module. So I was thinking I need to load that module first, like:

module_load_include('module', 'commerce_payment');
module_load_include('module', 'commerce_moodle');

Is this the right way? Or are all Drupal modules already loaded, present? I will be trying to pass some parameters into these functions, hopefully.

Thanks for guidance.

Enabled .module files are automatically loaded by Drupal when Drupal bootstraps, but .inc files are only loaded when demanded. So yes, use module_load_include() if the function you're trying to call isn't found. Generally, however, functions that are part of a module's API should be in the .module file.
