Another way do to what you want is to us Javascript "pseudo-objects".

function ShowMessages()
{
     this.xmlHttp;

     function Run()
     {
         this.xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
         this.url="CheckMessages.cfm";
         this.url=url+"&room="+document.getElementById("Room").value;
         this.xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
         this.xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
         this.xmlHttp.send(null);
     }

     function stateChanged()
     {
         if (xmlHttp.readyState==4)
         {
 
document.getElementById("Messages").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
         }
     }
}
var objShowMsgs = new ShowMessages();


function checkusers()
{
     this.xmlHttp;

     function Run()
     {
         this.xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
         this.url="CheckUsers.cfm";
         this.xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=this.UsersChanged;
         this.xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true);
         this.xmlHttp.send(null);
     }

     function UsersChanged()
     {
         if (xmlHttp.readyState==4)
         {
 
document.getElementById("Users").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
         }
     }
}
var objUsersChanged = new UsersChanged();

Then just call objShowMsgs.Run(); or objUsersChanged.Run();
