MDX query with nested aggregations

Question

WITH 
  MEMBER [Measures].[newCalculatedMeasure] AS 
    Sum
    (
      Filter
      (
        Descendants
        (
          [Date].[28 Days Month Calendar].CurrentMember
         ,2
         ,LEAVES
        )
       ,
          [Measures].[mymeasure] * 10
        > 
          Avg
          (
            Filter
            (
              Descendants
              (
                [Date].[28 Days Month Calendar].CurrentMember
               ,2
               ,LEAVES
              )
             ,
              [Measures].[mymeasure] > 0
            )
           ,[Measures].[mymeasure]
          )
      )
     ,[Measures].[mymeasure]
    ) 
SELECT 
  [Date].[28 Days Month Calendar].MEMBERS ON 0
 ,[Measures].[newCalculatedMeasure] ON 1
FROM [cube];

Above query is not evaluating the inside average function, whereas if i replace that with the actual average, its working fine

Can somebody tell me whats wrong with the above measure..

Does splitting the measure into named sets help with this context issue?

WITH 
  SET [MYSET] AS 
    Descendants
    (
      [Date].[28 Days Month Calendar].CurrentMember
     ,2
     ,LEAVES
    ) 
  SET [MYSETFILTERED] AS 
    Filter
    (
      [MYSET]
     ,
      [Measures].[mymeasure] > 0
    ) 
  MEMBER [Measures].[newCalculatedMeasure] AS 
    Sum
    (
      Filter
      (
        [MYSET]
       ,
        [Measures].[mymeasure] * 10 > Avg([MYSETFILTERED],[Measures].[mymeasure])
      )
     ,[Measures].[mymeasure]
    ) 
SELECT 
  [Date].[28 Days Month Calendar].MEMBERS  ON 0
 ,[Measures].[newCalculatedMeasure] ON 1
FROM [cube];

Named sets with aggregates can sometimes impact performance so please excuse me if the above slows everything up.
