I currently have a global function in my functions.php file

    ein_error_log($message)
    {
          //push out $message to file... 
    }

But I want to start using it in my MU-Plugin directory and it doesn't know it exists. So I assume it's because MU-Plugins folder is read before the theme folder in WordPress's hierarchy, which makes sense. 

But if the hierarchy is the case, how do I distinguish which MU-Plugin runs first to make sure all other MU-Plugin files can run dependent on said file?
