ACDL eventing, manually tracking the variables with generic event

acdl-test6.js

// In a browswer window with URL about:blank
// Open the JS console and paste this code

window.adobeDataLayer =  [];

adobeDataLayer.push({
    event: "test-x",
    x: 1
});
adobeDataLayer.push({
    event: "test-y",
    y: "a"
});
adobeDataLayer.push({
    event: "test-x",
    x: 2
});
adobeDataLayer.push({
    event: "test-y",
    y: "b"
});

adobeDataLayer.push(function (dl) {
    var state = {};
    dl.addEventListener("adobeDataLayer:event", function(e) {
        if (e.event === "test-x" || e.event === "test-y") {
            state = Object.assign(state, e);
            console.log(state);
        }
    });
});

var scriptElement = document.createElement('script');
scriptElement.src = "https://unpkg.com/@adobe/[email protected]/dist/adobe-client-data-layer.js";
document.body.append(scriptElement);

// Console output will be:
// {event: "test-x", x: 1}
// {event: "test-y", x: 1, y: "a"}
// {event: "test-x", x: 2, y: "a"}
// {event: "test-y", x: 2, y: "b"}

If the events that push x and yare not the same, but you still want to consolidate the state between those two, then you can use the generic adobeDataLayer:event event, and filter inside the callbacks to the desired events.
