Don,
you can define such a function as follows. Note that it is important to
define the pattern for f such that it applies only to numeric arguments.
Otherwise, f[y[t]] would be evaluated prematurely in In[3].
In[1]:= f[y_Real] :=
If[(y > ymax && fval == 1) || (y < ymin && fval == 0),
fval = 1 - fval,
fval]
In[2]:= ymax = 0.9; ymin = 0.1; a = 1; b = 1;
In[3]:= eqs = {y'[t] == a*f[y[t]] - b*y[t], y[0] == 0};
In[4]:= fval = 1; NDSolve[eqs, y[t], {t, 0, 10}];
In[5]:= y1[t_] = y[t] /. First[%];
In[6]:= Plot[y1[t], {t, 0, 10}, PlotRange->All]
