“Doesn't work” is not a problem description.  

Please read <http://PointedEars.de/faq#posting> pp.

You cannot.  However, what you really appear to be asking for is how you can 
call a function only after the response requested through a previous 
function call has been received.  In that case, it is rather simple:
Make the next function call *only then*.

Your code, although already error-prone, and hard to read due to lack of a 
consistent code style, could be adapted only slightly as follows:
 
> <?

This should always be

  <?php

Also, if possible, set short_open_tag = Off in php.ini, and use PHP 5.4+ 
instead where you do not need it for <?= … ?> anymore.  If you are still 
using PHP < 5.3, you should upgrade ASAP for security and other reasons.

  var req = {
    data: <?= json_encode(array(
      array(
        'id'  => 'theClasses',
        'uri' => "getClasses.php?key={$oriClasse}"
      ),
      array(
        'id'  => 'theMakes',
        'uri' => "getMakes.php?key={$oriClasse}&dbvalue={$oriMake}"
      ),
      array(
        'id'  => 'theModels',
        'uri' => "getModels.php?key={$oriMake}&dbvalue={$oriModel}"
      )
    )); ?>,

    index: -1,

    getNextItem: function () {
      var _data = this.data;
 
      if (this.index < _data.length - 1)
      {
        return _data[++this.index];
      }

      return null;
    }
  };

  var req_item = req.getNextItem();

All your other functions could/should become methods of this or another 
object.

Do not forget to escape your input.

What is the DOM implementation where XHR::readyState is a *string* value?

      if ((req_item = req.getNextItem()))
      {
        getContent(req_item.id, req_item.uri);
      }

  getContent(req_item.id, req_item.uri);

However, if you only create a new XHR object when a request still is in 
progress, you can increase speed and save memory.  In that case you can keep 
your calling code as it is but you probably have to write or use an XHR 
wrapper.  See also <http://PointedEars.de/wsvn/JSX/trunk/https.js> for one.
