Hi guys, :-)
Just FYI, I got this answer from the theme dev:
"David,
You don't need the include statement. If you create your function in
wp-content/themes/suffusion-child/functions.php it will get
automatically included.
Secondly, using the same function name wouldn't work, because it would
require me to encase the original function definition in actions.php
in a "function_exists" clause. I would suggest using a different
function name, then using remove_action to remove the older action and
add_action to add the new action."

I'm not yet confident about how to actually implement this in code...
Any tips or advice would be gratefully heard.

Steve, maybe the above informs? In any case, the function to be
overwritten is likely to remain fairly stable...
All the best, :-)
