Actually, if you have a properly constructed module (which is a PHP file and a 
couple of supporting files), you can just call the function.  And if you are 
doing different custom code things in different places, you can create your 
various functions in the one file and call them as necessary in blocks, nodes 
or whatever, like so:

<?php
  show_me_the_money();
?>
