In short, yes, but the $LISTADO_FIND_PRUNED is geenrated by 'find' as a
subshell


    find $(program that generates LISTADO_FIND_PRUNED) -type f

See the shell manual page for how to use embedded subshells.
I make use of this facility quite a lot.  Coprocessing offers a number
of advantages over seperate sequential, although this isn't the best
example of that.

Its there it just isn't called "--exclude-path".

Look: it says

	 !  expression
              Negation of a primary; the unary NOT operator.

and

	expression  [-a]  expression
              Conjunction  of  primaries; the AND operator is implied
              by the juxtaposition of two primaries or made explicit by

or you might look at

      -path pattern
              File name matches shell pattern pattern.  The
              metacharacters do not treat `/' or `.' specially; so, for
              example,
                        find . -path "./sr*sc"
              will print an entry for a directory called `./src/misc'
             (if one exists).

Now here it is:

	
             To ignore a whole directory tree, use -prune rather than
             checking  every  file  in  the tree.



So you could EITHER -prune or you could say "not this pattern and not
this pattern and not this pattern"

But this seems to be exactly what you want
