Definitely!
Read through http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html, that should definitely get you started.

Basically, with b & c defined in file1.py (choose your own appropriate name), from file2.py you can do:

import file1

def a(...):
    file1.b()
    file1.c()

or (bit shorter, but can be less clear):

from file1 import b, c

def a(...):
    b()
    c()
