Well, if I understand your question correctly, the goal would be to
execute each expensive operation only once, regardless of how many
expensive functions you execute:

  [(x, a, b, x+1, a+1, b+1)
   for x, a, b
   in (
     x,
     expensive_a(x),
     expensive_b(x),
     for x
     in data
     )
   # if x > 42 # optionally test against values
   ]
