I have a cocoa application which has certain subroutines / methods. So if I have a method like this:

- (void) dummyMethod:(NSObject*)dummy

    You can not call method from another application (process). You can call methods of framework,static or dynamic library.
    To call method on another application you have to use interprocess communication mechanism. In cocoa you can achieve this by using Distributed notification.
