Perhaps you will benefit from a table-based validation: rules are defined in a table, a special function searches through all rules for the table.
Field-level and record-level rules have the bad habit to fire too early.
With table-based validation, you could check the rules before doing your TableUpdate(). As an additional security, you could call your validation function from the Insert and Update triggers.
