Why can't we use user defined functions or global variables [#964710]

we can do drupal_get_path("theme","garland")
but not
$temp = $theme_path;
global $theme_path; $temp = $theme_path;
$temp = function_in_templatephp();

I have tried those after cache has been cleared

I haven't been able to reproduce this. I've tried a function in the template.php of the theme and it has worked fine.

Are you trying to use a template.php different from the current theme?

Also try calling init_theme() at the beginning of your code, if for some reason your code is being executed before the theme has been initialized then the template.php has not already been included.
