No, this can't be done.

One simple thing is to create a sentinel variable specifying whether the
targets have been defined.
So, in User.mk you'd do something like:
FOO = foo
BAR = bar
... other variables ...
ifndef TARGETS_DEFINED
TARGETS_DEFINED = 1
foo:
build a foo
... other targets ...
endif
Now the first time you included it TARGETS_DEFINED would not be defined,
so you'd get the targets. After that TARGETS_DEFINED would be defined
and you wouldn't define them twice.
