I'm not sure what you are worried about here.  If one has

   do i = 1, n
      ... = expression1(..., 1/y)
   end do

then this is equivalent to

   do i = 1, n
      tmp = 1 / y
      ... = expression1(..., tmp)
   end do

which is equivalent to 

   tmp = 1 / y
   do i = 1, n
      ... = expression1(..., tmp)
   end do

I suppose I could do something exceedingly stupid such as

   function expression1(..., xxx)
      common /foo/y
      y = 0
      ...
   end

but this would then lead to invalid Fortran when i = 2 in the
above initial loops as (1/y) is invalid Fortran if y = 0.
