It might help to explain exactly what you're trying to achieve here. Your custom action is in the execute sequence and (assuming you've shown UI) decisions about what features are going to be installed have already been made. In addition, the costing actions have already been done in the UI, so CostInitialize/Finalize etc have been called in the UI sequence.
So if you want to set a property based on the feature state of a particular feature I don't think you need any code anyway. You'd use a type 51 custom action that sets your XXXXX property to 1, sequence it in the right place, and condition it on &FeatureA=3 (meaning it's going to be installed). Again, it would be useful to know what you're trying to achieve because you may be taking a long convoluted path when there is a shorter way to get there.
