Idiomatically, in American English, "respectively" normally does not create sets of correspondences across clauses, it creates analogies within clauses which bind positionally across clauses: `set-window-configuration' (respectively, `window-state-put') affects only parameters saved by `current-window-configuration' (respectively, `window-state-get'). Typically in technical writing the word "respectively" is often abbreviated to "resp." or even elided: `set-window-configuration' (`window-state-put') affects only parameters saved by `current-window-configuration' (`window-state-get'). It's very much like an alist of the form (KEY . (VALUE1 VALUE2 ...)), as the parenthetical phrases can contain sequences of items.
