The only legal content for a facet is a single component ... so you
could do something like this:

    <x:aliasBean>
        <f:facet name="aliasName1">
            <h:outputText value="#{expression1}"/>
        </f:facet>
    </x:aliasBean>

and then, if you had a reference to an aliasBean instance, you could say:

    UIOutput output = (UIOutput) aliasBean.getFacet("aliasName1");
    String value = (String) output.getValue();
