I have another variation of this issue:

SELECT col1 - col2 as Total, Total * price FROM tst

of course, but wondering if there is a way to refer to Total within the
SELECT.

This is by design, blessed by SQL-92 standard. The closest you can get is something like

SELECT Total, Total * price FROM
(select col1 - col2 as Total, price from tst);

This will likely be noticeably slower though.
