Good questions.  To answer it, we'd have to know what the functions do - 
what information they manipulate.  Depending on your answer, any of the 
following scenarios are possible:

1. The functions become methods of Class1.
2. The functions become methods of Class2.
3. The functions become methods of a new, as yet unwritten class.
3a. This new class would be used by Class1 and Class2
3b. This new class would be subclassed by either Class1 or Class2.
