  It sounds strange to me.  Why not keep these things in different
files?  It's more easily maintainable, Gnus-things are loaded only if
you start it, etc.

  But if you want, there is no problem.  You define two functions, no
problem.  You call `gnus-demon-add-handler'.  So you have to require
gnus-demon, or gnus (which autoload it).  Something like this would be
ok:

    (defun ...
    (defun ...

    (require 'gnus-demon)
    (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-and-update 5 nil)

  Or:

    (defun ...
    (defun ...

    (eval-after-load 'gnus
      '(progn
         (require 'gnus-demon)
         (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-demon-scan-and-update 5 nil)))

  So the PROGN form will be eval'ed only after Gnus will be loaded.
The disadvantage with the first way is that it require gnus-demon at
the Emacs load time.

That probably needs to be 

  (eval-after-load "gnus" ...)

--the function takes a file name, not a symbol.

  Yes, my apologies.  The symbol as the argument was introduced
recently.

Please don’t think a statement like that has no need for further
qualification; not all of us use GNU Emacs, and you can’t _really_ say that
something recently checked into CVS, for a project which doesn’t provide CVS
snapshots, has been “introduced.”

  Hum...

  What "doesn't work"?  What do you mean?  Have you got some error
(and so a backtrace)?  ...?

  You don't give backtrace, but I guess this error is throwed while
defining the custom `gnus-use-idna'.  But it's strange, because the
default value form is:

    (and (condition-case nil (require 'idna) (file-error))
         ...

so the error wouldn't be throwed.

  Maybe the following can help:

    (setq gnus-use-idna nil)
