It is not ignored, it's executed.

Create a small .PRG and call it EXTRA.PRG:

WAIT WINDOW "Extra"

Now if you execute:

MessageBox("Hello!"),extra()

You'll see the message box "Hello", and once it's dismissed you'll see the wait window "extra". Fox has always had the ability to chain multiple functions on a single line, but you can't have any return value for any of them. It appears you can't do any assignments of commands, only function calls.

MessageBox("Hello!"),ADIR(ax)
DISPLAY MEMORY LIKE ax

You can then examine the value of the array ax that was created.
