Absolutely. In the example you gave, that was the case.
There is no way that is not a "hack", for some definition of that word,
to do this in the case where the names are not related.
You have to do something like this:
foo: .gen_abc_def
<commands that use abc and def>
.gen_abc_def: <prerequisites of abc and def>
<build abc and def>
@touch $@
