But if I join back to foo1 like below I get

ERROR:  invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table "a"
LINE 10: table_name=a.table_name
                    ^
HINT:  There is an entry for table "a", but it cannot be referenced from this part of the query.

​Adding LATERAL before the second "from_item" should get rid of the error - whether it results in a working and/or correct query I don't know.​
