Depending on your values you could have a sort of times-table table
(if you will) where two of the values make the row / column headers
and the third axis (value) is the intersection of the first two.

Something like this is what I *think* you mean from your explanation:

Independent variables would be quite simple (ex. 1) but I think ex. 2
maps more to your partially linked sub-headings.

Here you could have a table that updated with selection or mouse
position. This way your 'sort of related' sub-headings can show the
relation (light grey), or otherwise (dark grey) and you can update the
sub headings as appropriate (row-heading colour matches column
heading).

You'd need some pretty CSS for that, though ;)
HTH.
