Bytecomp has a documented hack for use in such cases:
  (defun foo-func-1 ()
    (when (fboundp 'foo-1)
      (when (boundp 'foo-var)
        (foo-1))))

The structure being looked for is "(if (fboundp 'X) BODY)" which 
suppresses the warning for X within BODY.  In your example, the 
presence of 'and' prevents the hack from matching the code.
