execute

Does the TriggerSleepAction work in executions calls correctly?
The problem is if I want to call an interface function by using execute and I call it from another function, TriggerSleepAction functions will be ignored by the other function:

JASS:

function Lalala takes nothing returns nothing
    //some stuff
    call TriggerSleepAction(5.0)
    //some stuff
endfunction

function Bla takes nothing returns nothing
    //some stuff
    call Lalala.execute()
    //does not wait 5 seconds
endfunction

So, I could fix it if I would use the same TriggerSleepAction call in the function which calls the interface function but this won't be very useful.
I can remember I was reading something about TriggerSleepAction functions in the vJass manual and it was something like: TriggerSleepAction calls do work in execute calls but they do not in evaluate calls. Unfortunately that doesn't answer my question. Maybe you know how to solve my problem in an easy way.

Captain Griffen	You seem to want to call it. Execute creates a separate thread.

JASS:

function Lalala takes nothing returns nothing
    //some stuff
    call TriggerSleepAction(5.0)
    //some stuff
endfunction

function Bla takes nothing returns nothing
    //some stuff

// As Griffen metioned, this starts a new thread.
    call Lalala.execute()

// This will wait until Lalala is finnished.
    call Lalala()
endfunction
