i assume you mean callback like:

and stock like this:

going on this basis differences.

public has to be forwarded and is used for calls to the function to do something

example: Send a Message after a timer, run a script such as connect to a database etc.

stock does not need forwarding and works the same way as a public, i use the stock for commonly required functions such as my stock i made recently to create a car at a distance from me for a cost

Although you can use a public in the same way you use 1 less line and it cant be included from a file with stocks in (#include stockfile)

I hope thats right but thats my understanding

Callbacks are called by the server when a certain event occurs, so if you want your code to be executed when something happens you put it into a callback's body. Other functions aren't driven by events directly but they are called from another functions or from those callbacks. So callbacks are on the top of this hierarchy.

Something like that.
