Hi Mark,
Perhaps this will help:
In[1]:=
xlist = {x1, x2, x3};
In[2]:=
mat = Outer[List, xlist, xlist]
Out[2]=
{{{x1,x1},{x1,x2},{x1,x3}},{{x2,x1},{x2,x2},{x2,x3}},{{x3,x1},{x3,x2},{x3,
x3}}}
In[3]:=
((f[a, b, Sequence @@ #] & ) /@ # & ) /@ mat
Out[3]=
{{f[a,b,x1,x1],f[a,b,x1,x2],f[a,b,x1,x3]},{f[a,b,x2,x1],f[a,b,x2,x2],
f[a,b,x2,x3]},{f[a,b,x3,x1],f[a,b,x3,x2],f[a,b,x3,x3]}}
