In my experience, I missed to import the file's path in my component. So I got similar issue in my code. Once I added this script_file_path in my component file I had got access to those functions

Add these two file paths in your component

<script type = "text/brightscript" uri = "pkg:/source/a.brs"/>
<script type = "text/brightscript" uri = "pkg:/source/b.brs"/>

then from both the files you can access the other file's functions

Is there a way to import a brightscript into another one? For instance, how to use functions from C.brs and B.brs in A.brs and so only import A.brs in any xml. – JCarlosR Apr 21 '21 at 22:49

Try Function aa() as Void, it might be missing the type on the function declaration.
