 * I’m writing a plugin with a template function, any idea how make one call to 
   a function then come back later in code execution to finish it running with it
   only being called the once?
 * I would like it to work like so:
 * 1. first part of function reads from database
    2*. a lot of other unrelated functions
   happen outside of original N. original function returns some information
 * Thanks
