I think I got it; I needed to enclose the whole thing in the anonymous function. Like so:

jQuery.noConflict();

(function () {
var $ = jQuery;
function test() {
alert("window call / normal def");
$("#test2").fadeOut(1000);
}

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
window["test"]();
});
})();

I'll play around with it and make sure it works in external files, etc; will re-post if I have more questions.

Thanks.
