http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/overview.html under UI Pages

The popup doesn’t need to duplicate code that’s in the background page because the popup can invoke functions on the background page.”

I have a function called functionBack() in the background page. This function is undefined if I call it from the pop up. What do they mean with that statement?

    It means you can call it as:

    chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().functionBack()
    

    and it will be executed inside background page context.
