you need to stack the alias definitions foreach aliases.
what you need is an associative array of arrays ... and
this is one of the boring limit of zsh (AFAIK): nested
structures needs files.

the best i have is: you cannot localize an alias but you can localize an
array

    alias my@='typeset -a'

    my@ test2=( echo this is it )
    () {
        my@ test2=( echo this is it )
        $test2
    }
    $test2
