There is no way to re-bind in prolog.
The only way to work around this is to pass its parameter a new value in a
recursive function.

blah(Out)
    Out2 = [different, out, list],
    blah(Out2).

I know this probably isn't what you are looking for, so I'd suggest not
binding your out_vars until you know what its value is supposed to
be. Thereby only binding it once and solving your problem.
Hope this helps man.
