Do you think you could provide a much shorter example to illustrate what
you need? In general, when you want to run one function on the result of
another, you can do something like:

<<< def increment_all(l);
...	return [i+1 for i in l]

<<< increment_all(increment_all(range(3))
[2, 3, 4]

Here we apply the function increment_all to the result of the function
increment_all.

If you are talking about the "results" of each function in terms of it
mutating an object, and then the next function mutating the same object
in a (possibly) different way, then calling the functions in order will
do what you want.

l = [0, 3, 5, 2]
l.append(10)		# [0, 3, 5, 2, 10]
l.sort()		# [0, 2, 3, 5, 10]
l.append(3)		# [0, 2, 3, 5, 10, 3]
