I don't quite get what you are trying to achieve.  If your
beginning-of-expression function is useful in a-mode, b-mode, and
c-mode, what's the purpose of defining it three times?

If you really want to have separate {a,b,c}-beginning-of-expression
functions, then you could do it by defining aliases.

  (dolist (prefix (list "a" "b" "c"))
    (defalias (intern (concat prefix "-beginning-of-expression"))
              #'beginning-of-expression))
