you 'd need process forking, which is has to be compiled into php
and which should/could not be used within a webserver environement.
i don't know your scripts will work,
if you call process_function after including auth_user.php.
if it works, i'd do it this way:
<?php
require("function.php");
...
... do some authentication stuff
...
set_time_limit(300);
ignore_user_abort(1);
include("auth_user.php"); // takes user to authenticated area
process_function();
?>
