Not knowing the details of your key invocation, could you not do 
something like:

   some $key in $allKeys satisfies count(key($key,$lookup)) > 1

If your operator is OR then:

   some $b in $booleanSeq satisfies $b

If your operator is AND then:

   every $b in $booleanSeq satisfies $b

By using 'some' and 'every' you are passing on the logic and 
optimization to the processor.

I hope this helps ... unless I'm missing something in your requirement.
