PHP/Wordpress include a function

I'm working on a Wordpress multi-site.

I'm using the same functions on each site and so I'm repeating the functions in the function.php on each site.

I have a templates folder in the themes folder at the same level as different themes/sites.

In each site I'm using require to get common structures that are used on all the site that are in the templates folder.

    <?php require(locate_template('templates/the_element.php'));?>

Is it possible to do the same sort of thing but with a function.

Can I require a function and pass varaiables in

There are a few things you could do - have a parent theme that all the themes use and as such you can share various files (and as such functions) amongst all of them.

You could make you shared code a plugin that can be installed on all of the sites as needed. So long as they use a shared plugin directory.

Or you could just include a file (can be called anything) into each theme so long as they all have access to it. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes for more on child themes.

You might need to use php global variables to pass data to the file http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php if you are passing data from sites files etc...
