Thank to all who replies my previous posting, to make the problem clear, 
here is an example where I need this kind of predicate:
 
  Suppose I want to have a predicate called less_than( X, Y )
  which return true if X is less than Y. 
  If at least one of the arguments is uninstantiated, this goal 
  will be blocked. But I also want to check whether there are any
  frozen goals which related to these variables, if there are
  I want to check right away whether the new frozen goal is consistent
  with all the previous frozen goal. 

  So, if there are previously frozen goal less_than( Y, Z ) and 
  less_than( Z, X ), I can tell  that less_than(X, Y) is false 
  (even none of the variables are instantiated).
