Just combine what you've already posted:
opener.parent.whatever

Code:

[b]page01.html[/b]
<script language=JavaScript>
function sayHello() {
   alert("Hello");
}
</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<iframe src="page02.html"></iframe>
</form>
</body>

Code:

[b]page02.html[/b]
<script language=JavaScript>

</script>
<body onload="window.open('page03.html')">
<form name=blahForm>

</form>
</body>

Code:

[b]page03.html[/b]
<script language=JavaScript>

</script>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
<input type=button value='click me' onclick='opener.parent.sayHello();'>
</form>
</body>
