Jquery :: From One File To Another - Calling Make Fancy Function

I have two javascript files that execute some code. One is a default file loaded on all pages that executes some jquery for some bells and whistles for basic interactivity :

default_jquery.js
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
function make_fancy(){
//make tables look nice
//make hover look nice
//etc
//etc
}
make_fancy();
});

It works great. However, one of my pages updates a database via ajax and then rewrites and redisplays the updated table on a successful ajax return. For example, if someone adds something to their shopping cart, ajax queries the database, updates an entry, and then rebuilds the shopping cart to reflect the new item or quantity. The problem I was having was that after the rewrite of the table, I was losing the formatting that the above jquery file was implementing. So I just added the same jquery statements above to the success indicator of the ajax.

My ajax looks something like this:
buy_item.js
Code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../buy_item.php",
data: "item="+item+"&quantity="+quantity,
success: function(resp){
//redraw table .....

This works fine, and reapplies the styles after the table has been redrawn. However, I don't like to have the same jquery statements in this file as I do in the standard jquery file above. So I just want to use a function. So on this buy_item.js page, I'm trying to call the make_fancy() function in the default_jquery.js file, but it doesn't work. I'm told that the make_fancy() function is not defined. I've tried including the default_jquery.js file which contains the make_fancy function before the buy_item.js file that calls it, but that doesn't work for some reason.

What I want is this for the buy_item.js page:
Code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../buy_item.php",
data: "item="+item+"&quantity="+quantity,
success: function(resp){
//redraw table
make_fancy();
},
error: function(e){
alert('You suck at this');
}});
}//function
