 I created a tax_query of a custom post type from within a file that I
 '''referenced in functions.php'''

 I figured out that I could query all of my custom posts by using: (so I
 had my positive)
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $args = array('post_type' => 'mycpt');
 }}}

 I assumed it should be easy to specify my quey with a tax_query
 {{{#!php
 <?php
     'tax_query' => array(
       array(
         'taxonomy' => "mytax",
         'field'=>'slug',
         'terms'=> array('mytaxterm')
       )
     )
 }}}


 Unfortunately this '''returns no result at all from within functions BUT
 from within i.e. header.php'''

 My workaround to retrieve all needed values from all those posts was -
 calling it via a hook from within functions.php

 (might be a dumb way?!)
 I added:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'wp_head','doMyTaxQuery' );
 }}}


 And did all I needed to do inside the function »doMyTaxQuery«.

 **********
 PS: I figured that I could not use »get_terms« from my query inside
 functions.php either.
