Can a SystemVerilog function return a value of a type defined in a package?

Can a SystemVerilog function return a value of a type defined in a package? How do I import the package before I declare the type of the function?

I think you want to return a datatype value, which was defined in a package.

Here is a sample code for it.

package tmp;
  typedef bit[1:0] x;
endpackage

import tmp::*;

module tp();
  x a;

  initial
  begin
    a = return_x();
    $display("a - %p", a);
  end
endmodule

function x return_x();
  return_x = 3;
endfunction

// Output 
// a = 3
