Hook locations

[steadicamop]

I have a piece of code I've physically added to the includes/functions_newpost.php file, and it has a hook not far away from the place it needs to be, on line 352:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('newpost_process')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Then the piece of code I need to insert currently sits a line 380 & 381, which is some distance from the hook itself, but the code I've added needs to be run at that point, not at the hook point - is there any way around this?

Thanks for you help,

Jason
