Something like this might work:

Code:

// in the extension class
public static $enum_cache = array();

private _get_enum($object, $field) {
    if(!isset(EXTENSION_CLASS_NAME::$enum_cache[$object->model])) {
        EXTENSION_CLASS_NAME::$enum_cache[$object->model.'-'.$field] = ...
    }
    return EXTENSION_CLASS_NAME::$enum_cache[$object->model.'-'.$field];
}

Then just use the _get_enum method to determine the values. That's just an example. You might want to make that method public (and therefore remove the leading _), so it can be used for other reasons, too.

Edit: Don't forget to include the field name in the cache, like I did... I updated the code
