Not as such, but,

	... ( e1 && e2 ) ...

is the same as

	v1 = e1;
	v2 = e2;
	... ( v1 && v2 ) ...

If you want the order of evaluation of expressions
to be defined, then define the order of evaluation by
evaluating them in that order.  The language defines
many ways to evaluate expressions in a defined order.
